This is what I'm getting (and the "SonarChart" option isn't available). Guess you have to pay at least once to get the detailed charts.

Subscription is about $30/ yr  thats about the amount of Brand name 2S oil I go thru from Te Torro, over the bar to 30m mark..

And yeah those map updates.. 99% of the time you will never notice anything.. then once in a while.. east coast, a reef one frequents shows up a gutter you didnt know was there..
 Or West coast and harbours...a change in channels.. dont get too close to certain markers.

I have the tab with navionics plus the old huminbird as a gps...yep one sees the changes esped after extreme weather one in 100 yr storms that come in every yr now..

I have had navionics for at least 5yrs, my subscription ran out years ago and i did not lose any map detail. 
I am fairly sure while your subscription is expired you dont get map updates from navionics or other users not lose map detail.

 I believe that is correct and that is also what it says on the download page descriptions

Update:

1. Navionics past the free subscription period is pretty much a waste of time in terms of chart detail.

2. Marine NZ works, but you need a data connection. It's a shame there isn't a map download option because it's a nice, simple app.

3. wetmaps.co.nz looks great on a desktop, but I have no idea how I would use this as a chartplotter on an iphone.

In the meantime, I have found iSailGPS NZ. It is from the same stable as iHikeGPS-NZ. I use the latter when hunting in the bush with no cell coverage and it has got me home every time. Hopefully, iSailGPS NZ will be just a useful. Had a play with it today and while you wouldn't want it as your main chartplotter for fishing purposes, it does seem to do the job without any frills.

Don't think so as if i've set my phone to aeroplane mode and the WiFi's off still works.
Used it when in China to find my way around since google wasn't aloud.
