[PSUBS-MAILIST] Underwater Navigation

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

 Found it, I had to search for "navionics boating" since navionics alone brought up a bunch of other superfluous stuff.  Turns out I had downloaded this some time ago for surface boating and deleted it, probably because of the subscription.  I didn't know about the bathymetry, which does sound interesting so I'll check it out again.

Both Android and iOS versions exist. It's just a chart plotter app. I have been using it for years, because it is pretty decently featured for the price. Nothing particularly special about it, other than the crowdsourced bathymetry, which is interesting. Apparently you can configure the app to automatically upload your own sounder readings to continually improve the chart resolution beyond the official NOAA / CHS versions.

 Guessing this is an Android app?  I don't see anything with that specific name listed in the Apple app store.  Is this "Navionics" app doing anything special that other boating navigation apps or even google maps doesn't provide?

 Brian, I cant take credit for the navonics app. Sean has it on his phone and shared his wisdom with me.  But its a cool app, and pretty resonable cost for what you get.  I am downloading my routes tonight to manipulate them into a format that works for me. I will share with the group once im finished. David

Thanks for the heads-up about the Navonics app! Just downloaded and installed. Something to play with on labor day!

I have a surplus Nexus 5x with a Google Fi data sim I use as a GPS on my Harley. Another use for it so I don't risk my Pixel.

So much collective wisdom in this group!
