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 paid the hight up front costs for this app and chart to avoid having to pay annual subscription fees. And now that is exactly what they’ve done. I’m the app it says I can restore purchases but when I go to the chart it just asks me to pay $25 for an annual subscription to it. F that.
Good looking but always broken

I always keep coming back to this app because it’s cheap to get into it (until you realize every other button is a paid upgrade). Latest issue for me is that this app can’t import routes.
Great App

Our regular chart plotter died on day 2 of our 3 week boating vacation on the West Coast of BC. We found and downloaded this app with the appropriate charts and were very pleased. Since we were travelling to unfamiliar destinations, this app worked great in plotting courses, recording tracks, and even estimating travel times and fuel consumption. Now that they have added some anchor alarms etc. it is even better. We paid well over a $100 for the same charts for our chart plotter so these charts are actually economical. You definitely need this at least as a back up. Worked great on the iPad and I understand that once you buy the charts you can use them on all of your devices. Side note, West Coast charts were restricted from downloading over cellular network directly to iphone due to their large size so we connected iPad to iPhone4 thru hotspot and downloaded it to iPad over "wifi". Worked great, downloaded in a just a few minutes and we were back on the go! This is my first recommended app.
