The first time I used this app was on a trip to key west and our first time boating there. The app was extremely accurate and provided great detail. It even showed some sunken boats in the area that were very small but great for snorkeling. When I showed the map to the man at the boat rental company and asked him what he could tell us about these boats He asked me what app that was as he had never seen one with such great detail and didn’t know of 4 of the 6 boats listed. We snorkeled 3 of them and reported back to him how great they were so he could recommend them to future customers. This summer I will be using the app in The Thousand Islands Region of NY. Great APP
Lake fidelity
Better for offshore
I recently rented a boat and was looking for digital charts to show me places to avoid. I didn’t want to take a chance at damaging the rental and having to pay for repairs. I found these charts to be lacking in the detail that I was looking for in the lake that I was using. I can’t speak for other lakes or offshore waterways. I tried the trail maps but quickly decided that the application didn’t fit my needs. I canceled the trial and deleted my account. I found that I was still charged for a subscription that I didn’t intend to start. I found a few dead ends while initially trying to resolve the issue of being charged. I was then contacted by Savvy Navvy’s customer support. The issue was quickly resolved and a refund was issued immediately. I have to say, I’m very happy with the customer support and communication. I was also informed that they are working to add more lakes to their database. When I purchase a boat, I will check back for updates.

This is the first sailing app I’ve used that works to answer the most important questions I have as we sail: what is the current doing? Can I point to get there or will I have to tack? Well worth the price of subscription. And more importantly, it doesn’t show extraneous information and map features that clutter up other navigation apps. This adds to convenience, but most importantly SAFETY when a split-second decision is needed and your plotter is the key source of information.Finally it is a beautiful presentation. Our boat is beautiful, and Savvy Navvy fits right in. Other chart plotters look like the product manager’s kid chose the icons and colors. All the features I might want aren’t here yet, but I appreciate how the company is being careful about adding what is essential, vs. throwing the kitchen sink at the product.
Can’t plot itself out of a paper bag

“Waiting for Godot” would be a more appropriate name for this non-functional app. Unlimited tonnage Master here with 24 years experience. Was hoping to find an app for casual pre planning of routes. Despite my best efforts I am unable to get this waste of time to calculate anything but the most basic, open water routes. Anything near land leaves the user waiting and waiting. Not sure if it’s capable of a solution but do know that in the time I waited I could have manually plotted my own route. Instructions suggest adjusting boat parameters however besides water depth an air draft it seems that once you’ve chosen a boat length there is no apparent way to change it. If your time is at all valuable to yourself and are looking for an app that is functional avoid at all costs. Garbage.

Thank you for trying out the review, and for one of the most original reviews we've read. We'd love to find out more as routing normally works in under 2 seconds. I'd love to get on a call with you and find out more and solve your Godot related frustrations.All boat settings can be instantly changed - boat type, length, draught and air draught and if you're a sail boat - polars. Then fuel consumption and cruising speed. Happy to show you how to do this and ease the Wednesday tension that we're sensing.david@savvy-navvy.com
