Best Navigating App For iPhone?

[MonacoMike]

What is the best navigation app currently for an iPhone for use in the inflatable. I have older Garmin on the boats so nothing currently to worry about compatibility to. Likely will replace the Garmin in the future with newer Garmin.

Thanks, Mike

Love navionics. I use it on an iPad on the boat as my primary plotter, with my older Raytheon one as backup. Also on iPhone when not on my boat.

I use navonics. True and very accurate. Great for iPhones

+1 for Navionics.

And, lately, you only need one subscription for all of your devices. Now, THAT'S a deal.

I have Garmin on my plotters and also use it on my phones/iPads. The app is now called Active Captain, used to be BlueCharts. I believe...and may be wrong here...but if you have current charts on your plotters you get one free on "another device". I bought two Garmin plotters a couple years back and am able to use the same charts on two Apple devices, no extra cost.

I very much enjoy the Garmin app. The Active Captain integration is neat too...

I have Garmin Active Captain and Navionics... both are good

Did they recently change this? My experience almost a year ago showed that 1 license worked on a single platform (eg: Apple). So if you had a mix of Apple and Android, you had to pick one set of devices (or buy 2 licenses). I see the following text on Navionics site - but curious if its literally true, or crafty wording..

One account, one subscription
You can use the same App subscription on all your Apple and Android devices. Simply log in with the same account in all you Boating Apps.

2 Android tablets, 3 I-phones, and a couple of computers. I think they are serious.
If you get 99% of the boating pubic buying an annual subscription for 10-50 bucks, that adds up.
Now, I renew. It drives the phone for curiosity, a tablet for the dink, a tablet for the salon, and wherever else I can pull it up. I am hooked.

Navionics and AquaMap are both solid choices.

I think it comes down to which user interface you prefer.

One thing navionics has that aquamap doesn’t is autorouting, which I love.
