Navimatics has released an ENC system for the iPhone using true vector charts and is called "Marine Maps".
It uses the integrated GPS to display the actual position.
But it looks like the app has much less features ass iNavX.
Until now only some charts are available and according to the Apple Store it seems like you have to buy the app for each chart region you need! Which makes it very expensive as each version costs 35,99 Euro. Though one doesn't need all regions but if you buy 2 or 3 it's very expensive considering that the NOAA ENC charts are free.
Also there are no other chart coverage except USA.

and in the Apple Store.
