Captain Altair ,

Great Job in Discovery Islands

Took a 79 nM cruise around Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands in BC. Took me safely through some narrow rocky passages with awkward turns. Like the low price for Canadian and US charts and that they are not proprietary. Not hard to use compared to some other similar apps but there is still a learning curve. Plot your trickier routes before you are aboard.
Had difficulty uploading logs to other copies of app. Only has email option as a way to transfer them. Did not work. Would also like a way to send a pdf of the routes I took to friends interested in where we went

Bronzeback Hunter ,

US and Canada Iphone

This could be a lot better app if there were just some basic instructions SOMEWHERE! No such luck, the handful of videos tell you nothing about basic operation and the people are difficult to understand anyway. With enough precious time wasted, you can figure most of it out. In the end it will be helpful, price was decent for what you get.
