Highlights
Excellent tech support
Very stable on my Motorola xoom
This is an easy to use accurate navigation program
Used it in Buckhorn lake and it was very accurate
Simple to use interface and the ability to share points of interest
Easy to download the charts
Found the real time track overlay very useful for navigation
The auto follow feature is great and the app is intuitive
App does what it says and is a handy tool
Easy to use easy to set up
Update tides added but vendor wants me to pay again
Predicted path vector does not work
And my new device were not happy together
I brought it to their attention last year and it has not been fixed
Having to choose a chart just to get to the main screen is dumb
