Advice on Navionics or similar for phone
Submitted by NORUN NOFUN on Thu, 2016-02-11 11:33
Hey guys,
Can anyone recommend a good app like Navionics or similar to use on my Samsung phone ( Android ) ?
Are they easy to upload GPS waypoints to ?
Is it worth it ?
Cheers
Scotty

As far as i have been able to establish waypoint entry is clunky and limited to 200. If you find out differently, let me know :)

I have this app, you cannot
I have this app, you cannot enter waypoints manually, have to go to the spot and press mark. Bloody useless.
It is however a good source for off line charts.
If anyone knows different to this, please let me know how you enter points

Cheers guys, went with navionics app, its pretty good for a phone version, not easy to put waypoints onto.
Bucko you can manually enter marks, you need to press the magnifying glass at top left of map, then on next page press lat/long and manually enter the coords and then press show on map.

To mark a waypoint hit the
To mark a waypoint hit the arrow head bottom left which will centre the marker and tap the screen which will put the cross hair on your current position. tap the question mark and add to favourites. Name and add. Yep a bit of stuffing about but once learnt it takes seconds.
Cheers for the heads up on entering marks manually.
