$50 large screen chart plotter in your cockpit
This app is unbelievably great!
Canadian Hydrographic Service electronic charts are not free and iNavX cant, wont and shouldnt be asked to eat that cost for you. They are up-front about the price of Canadian waters charts. If you dont want to pay for your region then take it up with CHS but iNavX does not deserve a poor rating because a government agency has a policy you dont like.
In a recent three-day race around Lake Ontario. I was able to view 8 km spacing GRIB (wind prediction) data atop my real-time position and track (on iPad). Having it on the large touch-screen makes it immersive.
On another boat, I have wired up the instrument package to broadcast over WiFi (using a product recommended in iNavXs documentation). Real-time wind and boat speed and direction and depth can all be shown on-screen along with clear instructions for steering to a waypoint. If there is a danger, it is that youll find yourself relying on it so much youll forget to look in front of you!
I think most of the negative reviews were because it doesnt make coffee.
