Comments on Marine Navigation for Android

★★★★★ Andre Joe Henrique · Mar 14, 2019
Works fine. Gone fishing offshore several times. It guides us to navigate in a small canal in the reef
★★★★★ A Google User · Oct 18, 2013
Works Nicely with NOAA Charts I wanted a basic nav program that would work with on-line NOAA charts. This one works best. When I move the screen or zoom, it downloads the charts within 10 seconds on 4G. Recent improvements include zoom in and out buttons on the maps, and distance and time to waypoint during navigation. The author has been incredibly responsive by email, fixed the few problems I saw and added some good features. Bottom line, if you want to see where you are on NOAA charts, I don't know of a better alternative anywhere near the price.
★★★★★ A Google User · Sep 9, 2013
Wonderful Dear Marco I used your good app at Singapore strait I found it good, if you add Persian Gulf charts also it will be useful for plenty seafarers crossing hormuz strait and persian gulfs TSS, thanks for your kind endeavors
★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Feb 5, 2015
No good in Canada Absolute waste of money if you live in Canada. Features don't work on the biggest of lakes here. Would like a refund.
★☆☆☆☆ Hugo Martin · Nov 8, 2015
Not all maps work I can't get all the maps to work, and it's the noaa ones I wanted. Expensive app that I expected to work
★★☆☆☆ A Google User · Mar 5, 2014
Hard to use I found it very hard to navigate this app, especially setting and using waypoints was most difficult. There was no way to save a waypoint, and then it took three screens to return to the map. It took two screen just to get to the waypoint and by then I'd moved past the position I wanted to be marked. The NOAA map for my area of the Florida Keys was long outdated and didn't show major canal systems on Big Pine Key that I was trying to get to. The route function was too hard to use and I gave up. There is no help menu or any instructions how to use this app. Also, you boat's location is not positioned at the center of the screen like other apps. Usually your position remains in the center, and the map moves as you travel across the sea floor.

MARINE NAVIGATION — Offline GPS Chartplotter You Own Forever

Tired of apps renting your maps every year? Worried about your secret fishing spots being tracked or sold? It’s time to take back control.

Marine Navigation is the GPS chartplotter you buy once and own for life. No hidden fees, no forced subscriptions. Since 2009, sailors, fishermen, and sea lovers have trusted us for reliable, offline navigation that respects their privacy.

CHOOSE YOUR WAY TO NAVIGATE

Try Free: Download Marine Navigation Lite to explore the basics.
Full Version (One-Time Purchase): Get the complete offline chartplotter that’s yours forever.
Go PRO (Optional Subscription): Unlock professional-grade tools and navigate without limits.

Your choice: own it once, or subscribe for more — total freedom.

GO PRO — THE ULTIMATE NAVIGATION

For the serious navigator, we built something extraordinary. The PRO version is more than just features; it's a commitment to professional-grade technology, passionately built by a single developer.

PROPRIETARY S57 ENGINE (NEW): This is our masterpiece. Our custom S57 renderer brings official Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) to your device with a speed and detail once reserved for systems costing thousands. This isn't a licensed feature; it's core technology built for performance.

UNLIMITED CUSTOM MAPS: Our most revolutionary feature, supercharged. Scan a paper chart, import a satellite image of a wreck, or even use a treasure map. Our powerful georeferencing tool lets you turn any image into a fully navigable, offline chart in minutes. Your knowledge, mapped.

GLOBAL OFFLINE TIDES: Accurate tidal data for any point on the map, calculated on your device. No internet needed, powered by the high-precision FES2022b global model.

ADVANCED TOOLS: Overlay multiple maps, adjust transparency, and gain a level of control that competitors simply cannot match.

FISH FORECAST (NEW): Fish Forecast helps you plan fishing trips with an Activity Score, built from Solunar, plus real fishing weather and ocean conditions.



YOUR DATA IS SACRED

We respect your privacy. We don’t track you. We don’t analyze your locations. We never sell your data. Everything you save stays safely on your device. Your fishing spots remain yours — always.

FULL VERSION — EVERYTHING YOU NEED

RELIABLE OFFLINE MAPS: Download your charts and navigate with confidence far from shore. Our entire download system has been rebuilt from the ground up based on user feedback for total clarity and control.

COMPLETE GPS NAVIGATION: Routes, tracks, unlimited waypoints, anchor alarm, compass (true/magnetic), speed, and direction.

WIDE CHART SELECTION: Access NOAA Raster & ENC, ESRI Satellite Imagery, OpenSeaMap, Bathymetric Maps, and more.

USEFUL TOOLS: Basic weather, moon phases, GPX import/export.

WHY CHOOSE MARINE NAVIGATION?

Freedom of Choice: Buy once for life, or subscribe to PRO — you decide.
Privacy First: Your data stays on your device, period.
Unmatched Control: From official S57 charts to your own custom maps.
Trusted by Navigators Worldwide: Reliable and independent since 2009.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Good seamanship requires the use of official charts. Marine Navigation is for use with other charts and cannot replace official charts. Use at your own risk.
