Nautical Charts App
Submitted by Buz on Wed, 2011-02-09 20:39
Gday all, have just entered a new era of my life with the addition of a smartphone to my pocket.
Ended up going a Samsung Galaxy S over an Iphone4.
I have seen you can get the navonics nautical charts for all Oz on both for around $15.
Just wondering does anyone have any other Nautical Chart App's on their phone that they reckon is better?
Thanks, Buz.

Not really sure there is more
Not really sure there is more than one?
After using both version though, Navionics for Android is just not quite as good as Navionics for iphone, but the HTC Desire is probably a better phone than the iphone 4.

Make sure you get "Android
Make sure you get "Android Assistant", its good for killing apps that that don't close properly. ie; navionics. I have to restart mine to get the chart up after closing it sometimes and for some reason it only keeps marks to two decimal places, not the three in iphone.
Angry birds? Is that some sort of girl fight thing???

Thanks Jamie will check out
Thanks Jamie will check out "Android Assistant".
You say it only keeps marks to two decimal places? Does it show a live reading of your coordinates as you are moving to three decimals?
Angry Birds, haha wish it was a game of chicks fighting!
Silly but very addictive game of using birds to knockout pigs. Hehehehe. Very addictive.

Hmm not to sure about that,
Hmm not to sure about that, usually it shows the speed and bearing while you're moving, same as most GPS units.
I will take a look IF I EVER GET OUT AGAIN, SIGH.
AB? Might download it for a break from Solitaire.

If you do download, it be
If you do download, it be prepared to have your other half complaining about you are playing all the time. A bit like mine complaining about me being on FW right now instead of cooking.
