Title: iPad Marine Charting
#7
Well, I for one, am extremely impressed with iNavX on the iPad.

However, I would suggest that potential purchasers of the product look at the readily available feedback on its App Store page (summary screenshot attached), rather than listening to individuals promoting or drum-banging.

In the interests of objectivity, I've just been reading through user feedback on the App Store page. There is some negative feedback (1*), so we should look at this... The main points raised are:
  • [li]Useability is difficult (valid point)[/li][li]Charts are too expensive (not iNavX's fault)[/li][li]iNavX is too expensive[/li][li]General Unspecified Rants[/li]

There's no mention of chart quilting or course up as being major omission, so I think it's fair to say that this isn't a major feature that the public are crying out for.. personally, I find course up rather confusing, being a paper charts guy.

Anyway, if you want "course up" display simply rotate your iPad / iPhone so that the vessel arrow is facing in the direction of travel, and voila! Course up!

88 people out of 171 gave iNavX 5*s. That, to me, says it all.
Never knowingly overcanvassed!
