Navionics/garmin Boating App

Recommended Posts

Big change in Navionics Boating Apps. Dec. 19, Nanionics combined the Boating ($9.95 purchase $4.95 renew) and Boating HD ($54.95 & 14.95 respective) app into one app now called Boating Marine & Lakes HD. Now one annual subscription price of $14.99. When you open your Boating app ($9.95 / $4.95) app you will be directed to install Boating Marine & Lakes HD and your data will automatic transfer IF YOUR LOGGED INTO NAVIONICS. It's good until your subscription ends, than you buy another year at $14.95. Garmin added ActiveCaptain to the app which overlays "points of intrest" and ability to transfer map, markers etc. data to your Garmin comparable electronics. Very limited POI's on inland lakes found a couple on Mille Lacs & Superior. You ca add some if you wish.

So will the mobile Boating app I paid a one time price of $15 for about 10 yrs ago stop working and I'll be required to start paying $15 each year? Maybe I'm missing something. Thanks

Seems like once it’s loaded on your phone you can still access whatever is in the memory at that time.  I’m guessing you don’t get any updates going forward if your subscription isn’t current.

 

Is that about right @papadarv?

Correct you can only get contour updates on lake maps with the annual paid subscription. Been that way for many years. Updates are done daily, I always update before I go out. The $15 once a year to me is less than pocket change compared to cost of $500 GPS and $150 annual lake map chip or $10 to $30 per lake per year for Lakemaster FishSmart app.

Agreed!

 

Remember what the hard plastic card Lake Maps cost and how accurate they weren’t/aren’t?  We’ve come a long way baby (another throw back reference).
