The + and - buttons are missing.
I can go in, larger scale by clicking on chart and selecting larger scale chart.
But I see no way to zoom out o smaller scale chars without going to CHARTS and picking a small scale chart.
I don't have this issue on other han NV charts.]]> Virgins/Leewards/Wndwards

We have developed a deep penetrating electromagnetic FORWARD & LEEWAY speed log. The NMEA 0183 (VMVBW) is not currently supported by iNavX, so we are looking to utilize the TXT feature that is supported. Documentation on this is tough to come by. I would like to display FWD, LEE, and boat ANGLE as a TXT message in 3 separate "instrument" labels. Or, rotate the 3 in one instrument label. Updates of the field(s) would be about 1x per second. So far, I can show one message one time.

Any help would be appreciated! Great app BTW!

Ok this is probably a dumb question, but I'm wondering why when I look at our position while sailing, the icon isn't hardly ever facing in the direction we are going ... the position is right but the direction of is wrong. Am I missing something?

Can you give me some ideas on a what iNavX models you guy are currently using.

I'm looking into getting one but would love to hear of any first hand experiences of their usefulness / performance and what model it is. ]]>

I am using iNavX version 4.7.3 on an iPad Pro on iOS 9.3.1

This is a very needed tool.

Requested feature:

Tacking Vector:
A vector that extends out 90 deg (or adjustable) on each side of the boat icon. When you are sailing up wind to a mark when the tack vector touches your mark, you know it is time to tack at a glance. It should be on a toggle where you can turn it off.

My old Garmin gps has a similar feature that would give you a course correction, it will say L or R then deg, when the degree was at or near 90, it was time to tack over.

We use fixed points for the majority of races in our area. Most of the marks are out of visible sight of each other. This feature can also benefit cruising sailors.

Please post your thoughts about this feature. If you think it would be useful or not, and if that may sway you to pick inavx over another app.

thanks]]>

This was the first time i used INAVX on my IPAD. It worked great, but...

every 30-60 seconds it would recenter the map on the boats position, and i could not see the way-points i had designated as the finish line. Our finish is between 2 channel markers, and seeing as i could only follow the vector to the mark I designated as the finish. I sailed to the wrong one, (basicly i was trying to go between the wrong 2 markers) It cost me 5 sec and I ended up as second place. I am not upset about the second place. (better than i have ever done)

My question:
how do i keep the map from re-centering on the boat every min or so, also even when we would scroll the map out to show the entire course leg it would zoom back in.

these are the settings i i have active in instruments, and on the chart page

instruments:

Vessel Name
Digital Only
BSP
BTW
COG
DTR
DTW
DWN
HDT
SOG
TDD
WPN

on the chart screen these are the settings:
