Super User Montanaro Posted December 9, 2015 Super User Posted December 9, 2015 Is there a reason to use the phone app from navionics rather than the webapp? The phone app will not allow you to see sonar charts but the webapp will. If you pay you can get the sonar charts... But the phone app allows you to download maps and store waypoints...which is possible with many midrange sonar/gps units. Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted December 10, 2015 Super User Posted December 10, 2015 I have the Navionics Boating, Navionics Boating HD, and Navionics USA on one of my Android tablets and get Sonar Charts on all versions. I have Boating on two Android smartphones and they have Sonar Charts. I have Boating HD on my iOS tablet and it has Sonar Charts. On another Android tablet I have Boating and USA and both of those have Sonar Charts Those devices are what I use for Sonar Charts Live with a Vexilar Sonarphone. Some of the versions were free updates or downloads from being a beta tester for Sonar Charts Live Android. Every one is an annual subscription and any you buy are annual also for updates just like the digital map cards for sonar/GPS units. The current software for Navionics Mobile Apps have lake level offset, shallow water highlighting, depth highlighting, creek/river highlighting, and fishing range highlighting plus Community Edits. None of those are available with the Web App. What Navionics maps can you download to a mid range sonar/GPS unit??????? You can with a map card, but not to the unit's memory. Quote
Super User Felix77 Posted December 10, 2015 Super User Posted December 10, 2015 I have it on my phone. Use it in my kayak. Love it. At the Toledo Bend trip my boater Bert forgot his fishfinders. He used the app on his phone to navigate. Got us where we needed and then some. Quote
