Wärtsilä iSailor is an easy-to-use marine and river navigation application for amateur seafarers.
iSailor provides a clear presentation of navigational information, electronic charts and additional content.
TX-97 vector charts supported by iSailor are recognized worldwide as one of the most accurate and reliable sources of navigational information.
Chart folios can be purchased and downloaded in the iSailor Chart Store utilizing the standard iTunes Store payment/purchasing procedure. Chart correction service is provided on annual basis via the auto-renewable subscription service. iTunes will charge payment after confirmation of the chart correction purchase. You may manage your subscriptions and turn off the auto-renewal service in the Account Settings. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the subscription period. You can cancel your subscription in the Chart Store any time. All previously purchased chart folios will remain available for you and can be restored from the service via the Chart Restore function. To receive subsequent chart corrections for your purchased charts, you will need to subscribe to the annual updates in the Chart Store.

I’m sailing a couple of years with i-sailor and was very satisfied with this system. Why did Wärtsilä joined the club. They better focus on their four stroke engines, instead of changing a reliable electronic chart system and adding costs (I’ve about 60 chart folio’s with a so called ˋlife timeˋ update) to sea-going people with this new subscription. The rating of the program drops from 5 stars to 1, and they just might be happy that a negative rating is not allowed. In future, I’ll give a negative advice to all colleagues and be sure, I’ll find a good alternative. Shame on you, Transas and Wärtsilä. You’re just a bunch of thieves and master liars.
Developer Response
Hi capt.angry, sorry to hear your frustration. We are now offering free unlimited update on all charts (besides Denmark due to the Danish Hydrographic Office requirements) purchased before Nov 28, and special deals on all charts until end of Feb. Hope you will enjoy these special offers!

Abrupt change in update policy, charging customers for the full price of charts each year for updates where previously they where included. Strongly suggest to avoid this software and use alternatives.
