mistaredone Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 I bought the Navionics Great Lakes maps like 4 or 5 years ago for $15 or so. Now the app won’t work because it doesn’t have an update available? Anyone else navigate this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raycaster Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) As far as I know you are SOL. I was in the same situation very happy with my app (actually happier) but Navionic pulled the plug. Its been awhile but I think they stopped updating it and it wouldn't work on the latest OS (Android/IOS). There was an uproar from paid loyal users having to buy the same product twice but Navionics used a excuse like "Navionics Boating is a new product" etc. and the other versions should work fine. They didn't and we had to buy the same maps again and suffer in-app purchase ads popping up all the time. We also now have to "login" with network access for some accessibility and re-load maps etc. Yes there are some nice options on the new Navionics boating but for a lot of us the older version was fine. So Navionics solved piracy problems and switched to subscription based $$$ by going to Navionics Boating. Don't get me wrong, I went ahead and bought all the newest versions but it still had a sour taste... Edited March 28, 2018 by Raycaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the new version has better features and you can download all of US and Canada if you want and update maps for a year. Navioniscs is till one of the better systems and the sonar charts feature is pretty cool for finding structure. worth it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistaredone Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Man that sucks! I’ll wait till later in the season to try out the free trial. Looks like they just added on weather and a bunch of other stuff but same maps as before. Frustrating but not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I was going to download the app. nada at $20.99 They should refund your money mistaredone, maybe a phone call is in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 I use the Canada and US boating one for the last few years. No issues. Pretty sure I paid only 19.99 4-5 years ago worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
