Title: iPad Marine Charting
#20
ReeferJon Wrote: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.

With Memory-Map's new app release, every single marine navigation applications for the iPhone or iPad has course up. Except one.

Navionics - added in last release.
Navimatics - had it from initial release
Memory-Map - added in last release.
MotionX GPS - added it in previous release
iNavX - missing

Even MotionX GPS for $2.99 has it. It's a very basic user-interface feature that creates a specific benefit for the user - correlation of the chart to the real world by just looking ahead.


ReeferJon Wrote: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!
You shouldn't have to literally stand on your head in order to obtain something that even the most basic apps have. MotionX GPS is 1/16th the price of iNavX. Since iNavX is the most expensive app of the group (not including the potential desire to purchase additional vector charts or the fees associated with the X-Perverse feature), shouldn't it have this generally desired ability?

Seriously Jon, what am I missing?
