iNavX - Marine Chartplotter

I’ve used iNavX nearly 10 years and was satisfied with the functionality. However recently they sold me outdated charts for the sections time. Until last year I had a subscription on their Navionics charts, when I found out that they hadn’t been updated for over a year.
This year I bought the Delius Klasing charts for the Netherlands, again finding out that they were several years old (2015 and 2017).
Conclusion: iNavX used to be a nice app. For now I’ve switched to a different app for navigation.

In july 2021 iNavx is selling navionics for the Netherlands published in 2018, and not updated. Of course, you only see this after purchase. In three years time, on a sandy coast, bars will have shifted and markers will have been moved, making these charts unsuitable for navigation. This is not only unprofessional, it is outright dangerous.

Fault information provided! NV chart not supported but mentioned multiple times in description.
Useless for me, waist of money

The Navionics charts for NL are outdated. This is extremely dangerous on the Waddenzee. The app is great in itself and works flawlesly with my AIS.

There is no free map for Europe. I should buy the map for 99,- yearly. Why don’t you mentioned this before i buy the app.
Now it is useless for me. Dissapointed!

Hi, I love sailing with the iNavx-app. Races too. See my five star rating 2 years ago. But beware of the outdated Navionics charts that you can buy too! In May 2019 I paid EUR 95,99 for Navionics+ UK Scotland etcetera for iPad. It is subscription. The chart in question also covers the Dutch inland water like the IJsselmeer. The chart bought in May 2019 was published in July 2018. Almost a year old. And has not been updated since then. It’s now November 2019. Almost a year and a half old. Buoys have been added or replaced or taken out of the water. Don’t relay on these maps, or you could risk getting into danger! And I’m ending my subscription. Solve this iNavx, this is a disgrace imho. 5 starts for the app, but 4 stars deduction for selling far outdated maps for Eur 96 per year. Tip for other inavx users buy Dutch waypoints online at nautin dot nl for safely navigating in The Netherlands.

INavX is a userfriendly intuitive app also showing AIS-info when a wifi equipped AIS Xponder is installed. Sailing in the Netherlands and Western Europe I used this app for many years in combination with Navionics charts (earlier 28XG; now Navionics+ UK/Neth/Bel/Ger/ Fra). These charts were adapted for iNavX use and sold and periodically updated by Fugawi in the past. Unfortunately Fugawi stopped selling and updating these charts in the second half of 2018 and are unsafe for navigation from that moment I experienced.
INavX which now sells these charts in-app does not provide periodic updates and directed me to Navionics for further assistance. Navionics in turn however redirected me to iNavX as they have no influence on updating these charts they say. Since my last request for assistance to iNavX on May 15 2019 I still wait for an answer from iNavX.
INavX still sells these expensive charts without updating and Navionics apparently thinks it’s no problem that their charts are sold deliberately without meeting the required standards which Mariners may and should expect.
As long as this problem is not solved my advice would be not to buy iNavX in combination with Navionics charts. I don’t have experience with other chart providers.

I bought the app a few days ago. If you don’t subscribe for charts, the app is completely useless in Europe. The free map doesn’t show anything. You also have to pay seperately for charts for the iPhone/iPad. Living in the Netherlands, I can subscribe for my area for €54. This sounds reasonable. If I also want to see them on my iPad however, I have to subsribe for the same area for another €105. Completely insane! Worst app I downloaded this year so far. Very dissapointed.

Gebruik deze app al jaren en naar volle tevredenheid, crasht nooit en werkt probleemloos samen met boordinstrumenten, stuurautomaat, marifoon en AIS gegevens. Goede ondersteuning bij vragen en problemen

As RYA YAchtmaster Ocean Sail & Power and owner of The Yacht Delivery Company I dare to say not many users will use this app as intensively as we do. Both at sea and in the office.
We know it’s by far the best iPad plotter on the market and outranks for example the Navionics app or other plotter apps in every way. Sure there are some minor improvements possible but they are already far ahead of the rest. Customer care same rating. Keep up the great work! (and contact me if you’re curious about the possible improvements haha).

For years iNavx in combination with Navionics charts have been my favourite navigation app for sailing inshore and offshore. Options like night vision red screen, GRIBs, data feed integration with the gps, AIS data and wind data from the boat network via a NMEA multiplexer make it a strong supporting tool for safe navigation, next to the paper charts and the mark 1 eyeball.

Perfect tool. Clear screen, use the anchor watch function often.
Works perfect with Go Free, the WiFi network from B&G.

Charts only for US and Noth America Waters. Charts for EU waters extremely expensive (twice the price as manufacturer asks for this - Navionics)

Keeps crashing when scrolling and zooming a Navionics map. Certainly not reliable enough to take with you on a boat!
Did crash in the previous version and still does after the latest update.

Use iNavX with Vesper marine XB-8000 and Nexus (Garmin) instruments and brookhouse i-mux. Works excelent. Including autopilot control. Highly recommended

Uitstekende app voor navigatie. Vooral ais functie met vectoren is top.
Zou mooi zijn als het direct met raymarine plotter zou schakelen. Verder de beste app die ik ken.

Good app, very stable - including the wifi connection to nmea. User friendly, no-nonsense.

Uitstekend om mee te navigeren. Zeker als je wifi gebruikt om je navigatiedata te laden. Gebruik hem altijd onder de buiskap. Meer dan mijn digitale plotter. Wel jammer dat het heel vervelend is om thuis m.b.v. Go To je waypoints erin te zetten.
