Your iPhone 3G is indeed compatible, but does require the iPhone 2.2.1 software update. Try this. Further tech support inquires can be directed to mobile@navionics.com.
Navionics Mobile Charts on iPhone provide an excellent backup tool to your fixed mount chartplotter, they're not intended as a replacement. The iPhone can be used in case of a power failure onboard, for your tender, your crew, or as a reference tool when you're not onboard your boat. You can measure distances from point-to-point, check tides and currents viewable graphically, query chart objects, and search for marinas and tide and current stations.
Most existing Navionics users I've spoken with love the idea that they can get their exact same Gold XL9 chart on their iPhone as they have on their chartplotter.
More features are coming soon (within just a few weeks) which will provide even more functionality and features.
