Charts and other upgrade features are now available through in app purchases. This is a free app much like the Garmin BlueChart Mobile app. This app appears to be Navionic's long term solution to the iOS 7.0 issue and multiple chart regions. Navionics also recently rolled out a new Boating App. The new versions of the Marine and Lakes USA 6.0.1 now supports downloading of additional chart regions from within the app so you no longer have to purchase separate apps for different chart regions. If boaters traveled to more than one region they had to buy multiple apps.
The older Navionics apps used to be sold by chart region. The Navionic's Marine and Marine & Lakes apps sold from 2010 are still available and will continue receiving updates at this point. I am concerned that at some point they will no longer support these apps also and I will be forced to re-purchase the charts and features yet again. All these changes are costing users money and creating a lack of confidence in Navionics. This is a major bummer! I am not happy with Navionics at this point. If I want the Caribbean and South American maps I have to spend another $15.00 to reload it on my iPhone or $24.99 for my iPad. I checked the version and it is 5.0.4 so I guess I am one of the affected ones. I experienced this first hand with the Caribbean region I purchased years ago for $19.99 for my iPhone. I recently found that it no longer works (see picture at left). Navionics has reported that some older apps purchased between 20 version 5.0.4 have become unusable with the iOS 7.0 upgrade. If your app is no longer working you may be out of luck. The recent release of iOS version 7.0 apparently caused some issues with some of the older Navionics apps. Their Marine and Marine & Lakes charting apps have been downloaded over 1 million times so they are a very popular with boaters. Navionics is one of the major players when it comes to marine charts, apps and mobile navigation.
