Description

A clearly structured navigation app with intuitive and comprehensive tools for navigation on board. All current editions of the boating charts or maps from NV Verlag / NV Charts can be easily downloaded and used for offline navigation with the NV Charts App. All latest editions of NV Charts nautical boating charts or inland charts including | North Sea | Baltic Sea | Netherlands | Wadden Sea | IJsselmeer | Sweden | Denmark | Germany | Norway | France | USA | Caribbean | Bahamas areas are compatible with NV Charts App.

One way to have great nautical charts both on paper and on our phone or tablet is to use our popular combination pack of paper and digital nautical charts, which includes both charts in clever atlas format and a license for digital nautical marine boating charts/maps for use in the NV Charts App, including an update service. The advantage: Both your paper and digital charts are up to date.
In addition you can also purchase digital boating charts as a subscription directly in the NV Charts App. The subscription duration is one year and is automatically extended.
If it is not yet clear where the journey is going to take you, free online charts can be displayed in the app, even without a current subscription or valid paperchart edition.

The latest information is essential for safe navigation on the water. With the NV Charts App you have the possibility to become part of the Seame boating community. You can now add marinas, anchorages and navigation warnings to the digital chart and also add and share interesting places beyond navigation, such as restaurants or points of interest with pictures. Others can respond directly with comments. The continuously edited content can be downloaded directly to be available offline. In order to make all information easily accessible, we have improved the search function: You can explore the surroundings and search directly for place names as well as anchorages, harbours, ramps, waypoints, cranes, petrol stations, or tide stations. In addition, an auto-routing function has been integrated, which allows you to navigate directly to your destination.

Together navigation on board is even more fun! You can now share your tracks with friends or use the data outside the app and export it as GPX file. You can share your favorite harbours and anchorages from the app simply by clicking on a link and coordinate your trip planning even better with everyone.

With the AIS function in the NV Charts App you can keep an eye on AIS signals in real-time. You can connect a Wlan AIS receiver to the NV Charts and the app display AIS Class A and B signals and navigation aids (ATON), as well as MOB AIS SART transponder distress transmitters, directly in the digital chart in real-time and the traffic situation can be assessed better.

The NV Charts App can be installed and synchronized on multiple devices.

Neue Version so leider nicht zu gebrauchen

Update: Support hat innerhalb von 24h reagiert und die Probleme gefixt! Jetzt funktioniert alles wieder wie es soll und teilweise besser, als mit der alten Version - somit wieder 4****, weiter so und in der Kombi mit Papier und Plotterkarten einfach einmalig 👍

Schade um die vier Sterne vorher. Auf dem iPad Air OS 12.2 gehen die geladenen Karten nach kurzer Zeit wieder „verloren“ und müssen neu geladen werden - App so nicht mehr zu gebrauchen, bitte dringend fixen! Leider ist auch die Beschriftung auf den Routen sehr hinderlich, wo kann diese ausgeblendet werden? Die Windows App ist in Ordnung, hätte mir dort gerade bei den Routen mehr erhofft (sm von WP1 zu WP5 usw.)

Developer Response ,

Dear Trilogie64,
We regret that this update is causing problems on some devices.
To solve this issue we are working on a update that should be available in the next days, depending on Apples review process and release time.
The problem is caused by a error when users have at some point changed their password or have not logged in into the app.
Another solution to this problem, if you don't have any tracks or routes stored on your device would be a complete reinstallation of the app.
When logging in into the app after re installation, everything should work as expected.
Please be aware that this second solution will remove userdata such as tracks and routes.
I hope this helps solving the issue, and let us know if this issue remains.
You can also contact us at support@nvcharts.com
And again, our apologies for any inconveniences this may have caused.
With best regards, Your NV Charts Team

Sehr guter Support, Fehler wurde schnell behoben

App funktioniert wieder wie gewohnt, sehr schneller und Kompetenter Support. Ein Fehler kann sich immer mal einschleichen, darum Rezension angepasst.

Ursprüngliche Bewertung:
Leider bekomme ich nach ca 30 Sekunden nurnoch einen weißen Leuchtturm auf blauem Hintergrund angezeigt, nicht mal ins Menü komme ich noch. Egal wie lange ich warte, es passiert nichts mehr. Habe die Seelkarte ausschließlich bestellt um die App nutzen zu können, absolut enttäuschend

Sehr schlechte Grafik

Seit der letzten App ist die Grafik ab einer Größe unter 250 m sehr schlecht. Eine Verbesserung ist dringend notwendig.

Developer Response ,

Guten Tag.
Vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung. Sie erreichen und unter support@nvcharts.com oder die Feedback Funktion in der App. Das wird sich so sicher schnell lösen lassen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
