Title: Map option on iPad but not iPhone(?)
#1
The map option which normally displays a Google earth image of a specified point only works on the iPad, not the iPhone. Google earth was present as an app on both devices when iNavX was first installed.
Is there a setting I'm not seeing?

You can get to "Map" from any waypoint on iNavX on both iPhone and iPad.

Now that we know it should work on the iPhone, any thoughts on why it doesn't?

---- oops, I now see it working. I was expecting it to appear from the contextual pop up menu like it does on the iPad.
Along with the edit function, it's available from the waypoint menu.

Is there a way to save the image with the waypoint to have access to it offline?

I'd like to know the answer to this question too. I'm on a boat in Majuro in the Marshall Islands in the Pacific and more and more people are using the Navionics app to overlay satellite photos from Google Earth onto their charts within that app. Can you do this with iNavX? And if you can do it, can you save the satellite photos somewhere so as to be able to access them when there is no Internet connection available?

One way is to take a screen shot (press the iPad's On and Home buttons simultaneously) of the waypoint in Maps' satellite view and then add that photo from the camera roll to the waypoint in iNavX (camera button).
