Hell, the NOAA charts for my area show beacons that were torn down in the 1950's, piers that washed out in the 1940's, rocks that were dredged who knows when. And of course they're clueless about where the sandbars are now. Might as well use them as table mats.
You certainly can't navigate with them. Nor do they show most of the (very few - yeah, the word 'most' doesn't really work here) anchorages along the Washington and Oregon coasts.That said, I've gotta get serious about figuring out iNavX for next weekend. I'd swear I bought a pack of vector charts for it, but all it shows are rasters. Oh well, MacENC still works fine, at the cost of more amp-hours. What is your question about Navionics?

I don't know of a manual, but I can do most things. The only issue I have seen with Navionics is that there are three Sounding databases. I ran aground once because I was using the wrong one, but that was in Florida where the sandbars shift a-lot. Now when in tricky spots I just check all three and try to go where they all agree I should have enough water.In response to Jammer. Raster charts on a digital plotter doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and they all come from NOAA. Do you really think these little chartplotter app companies are going to go out and Survey the entire world?
Don't feed the troll.Caca: What specifically do you need help with? The hardest part of the Navionics UI to handle is how to look up information on a spot on the map. They just made this easier on the iOS version. When scrolling around there is a crosshairs, and the icon on the right (a question mark) will show you information about that point (scroll over a nav mark or current arrow to see how it works).If you click into the Menu icon there is a help section that gives you more information too.Navionics works for me, and has been helpful on more than one race when the boat's primary plotter has failed.
I like that they've added previewing weather+currents with one click for any point on the map.
