Navionics® Boating - Latest Quality Issues
Android
Feb 27, 2025
Excellent application. I signed up but the app now has a bug in Satellite Imagery, which really messes up the location display. The satellite view is not as complete as it was when Bing was used.

Since Garmin bought Navionics, map updates have stopped working. It just stalls on Checking for updates.

Crushing my battery
I absolutely love using this app on my phone as backup to the charts on the yachts I run. Unfortunately the app has very recently started killing my phone battery at an unprecedented rate. It's truly crazy how much power the app uses, even compared to something like Google maps that is constantly downloading imagery. All maps are downloaded for Navíonics… WTH is using so much power???

The issue was not solved. Garmin wrote "If you wish a refund for your wrong purchase, you can request it from Google." Google says it can't be refunded. Please, contact Google support for your refund here: Uodate Feb 2025 Somehow on Google Play Store I was prompted to update my North America charts for $199. I reluctantly did it. But it doesn't work. I tried asking for a refund at both Google Play Store and with Garmin/Navionics. Both denied it.

AGAIN No Map update
Update of downloaded maps is not possible again. The only thing service can suggest is to delete and download again. I have done that a lot of times and everybody knows how painful the download function is. Is this app still supported at all? Or is just the bookkeeping department working?

I have been paying for this app since its inception. It was forever except that you didn't get new updates after the subscription expired. Then if you wanted map updates and extra features, there was an annual price for the maps which seems logical to me. Now everything I had paid for has stopped working and if I want the app, I have to pay 50 euros per year for the maps I had already paid for before. A rip-off and a disgrace.

The best navigation app turned into almost garbage by the same company that has not been able to renew the navigators. And I say this having downloaded the first version with a subscription that costs 9 euros ... Now the price is a ROBBERY. Can you explain to me why the sea and the lagoon of the northern Adriatic have become yellow after the last update?
