What apps are you guys using? I have MX Mariner but find it seriously lacking in definition as it uses linz charts and I cant seem to find navionics.

So what else is out there?

cheers

I have a new lowrance with new Cmap.. the Cmap (linz) doesn't have the definition of the Navionics of my old humminbird..
I use the old humminbirds as gps and lowrance as sounder.

Or if u can get a larger screen  smart phone or pad with a gps sensor, load the navionics app and use that.
Open cpn, seachange also use the LINZ maps

the result is basically use the mrs ph, its still running jelly bean 4.2.2.
on 4.4.2 I can get it to install, download data then crashes. couldn't be assed flashing a custom rom.

im going to try contact navionics about the issue as there apps charts are far better than any others on the app market, especially the sonar chart.

new app is called boating hd, I can install it by downloading it through a third party source, installs and runs fine, I start the 1 day free trial, then next day says I have an invalid licence and I cand get past the boot stage so I just assume its not built for my ph even though there site says its compatable but is no where to be found on google play.

so ive got to re install each day I want to use it,
hope this helps

Cheers - yep does thought that might be the case. My s5 is still under warranty - and I've always had trouble trying to re-install the stock roms so not that keen on flashing a custom one yet either.

I'll check out boating hd and see how it goes...
