Downloading the app will have you spending less time consulting. IBoating is the only app that offers off-course voice prompts, however I did not enjoy being told I was off-course by an electronic voice, so I turned them off straight away. Savvy Navvy is a boating app which aims to make navigation simple for all boat owners. Once a route is created it can be followed, but the only navigation data available is an ETA and the name of the next waypoint. Waypoint and route creation takes a bit of getting used to and, rather annoyingly, every time a new waypoint is created there is an option to share it on Facebook. The chart shows few contours until well zoomed in, although it is possible to add custom depth shading, which helps make the depth information easier to comprehend. Key navigational aids become larger icons when zooming out so they are still visible, which is particularly useful for planning longer passages. The chart can be oriented away from north up by twisting two fingers on the screen, a feature that I found frustrating, as I often inadvertently reoriented the chart. It uses vector charts and is reasonably fast and responsive across both platforms. IBoating is one of the least expensive applications that I tested.
