Description
Enhance your navigation experience with a seamless navigation solution that provides up-to-date digital nautical charts, comprehensive harbour information, and a full suite of navigation features.
The charts can be downloaded for offline use and offer exceptional compatibility with the NV Charts paper charts with a similar chart design.
All currently valid editions of the NV Verlag / NV Charts nautical charts or inland charts | North Sea | Baltic Sea | Netherlands | Wadden Sea | Ijsselmeer | Sweden | Denmark | Germany | Norway | France | USA | Caribbean | Bahamas areas are compatible with the NV Charts App.
Enjoy the best of both worlds - paper and digital: A perfect match is our popular combination package of high-quality digital charts and cleverly designed paper charts. Alternatively, you can also purchase digital nautical charts directly via the app with a convenient annual subscription that renews automatically. The integrated update service keeps the charts up to date.
If it is not yet clear where the journey should go or no offline charts are activated, free online charts can be displayed for all NV Charts chart areas, even without a currently valid chart licence.
Detailed and relevant information is essential for navigating safely on the water. With the NV Charts App, you are part of the BoatView community yourself. You can mark harbours, anchorages and navigation warnings on the digital nautical chart and also add pictures of interesting places that go beyond navigation, such as restaurants or popular attractions, and share them with the community. Others can respond directly with comments. The continuously edited content can be downloaded directly to be available offline. To make all the information easily accessible, the app offers a search function. You can explore the surroundings and search directly for place names as well as anchorages, harbours, ramps, waypoints, cranes, fuel stations or tide stations. The app also offers fast and flexible auto-routing, allowing you to navigate directly to your destination and edit a route manually.
Navigation on board is even more fun together! You can share your tracks with friends or use the data outside the app and export it as a GPX file. You can easily share your favourite harbours and anchorages from the app via a link and coordinate your trip planning even better with everyone.
The AIS function in the NV Charts App allows you to keep an eye on AIS signals in real time. A WiFi AIS receiver can be connected to the NV Charts App for this purpose. The AIS Class A and B targets and aids to navigation (ATON), as well as MOB AIS SART transponder emergency transmitters, are displayed, and the traffic situation can be better assessed.
The NV Charts App can be installed and synchronized on multiple devices.

Comments on NV Charts GPS Navigation AIS for Android
★★★★☆A Google User· Mar 7, 2015
Nv charts is an advanced charting instrument used by mariners to bring their ship from one port to another port in easy and accurate way.
★★★★☆Lucien Lund· Sep 20, 2020
The app is quite well-designed and practical. The maps are very good, easy to follow, and clear. However, some regions seem to have a lower resolution than others and one cannot choose the symbol (nor its size) for the boat on the map. Support is excellent.
★★★★★Gordon Inwood· Aug 1, 2018
Great app which came free with a chart, its usefulness has really surprised
me.
★★☆☆☆Lucien Lund· Sep 29, 2025
Terrible maps and app. Impossible to get one uniform look on the maps without of focus parts mixed with small vector units, mostly harbors... app itself not very well thought through. I regret spending my money on this useless conception.
★★☆☆☆Mark Vandeurzen· Aug 16, 2021
At best, the app shows the charts you have purchased (one by one). Syncing of routes and markers between various devices (iOS, Android and macOS), a rather basic function, does not work... Hilarious that now the app has augmentic reality: they are trying to run before they can walk.... Question is of course if it is even feasible for NV Charts to make a decent digital app: the charts can only be displayed one by one in the app. Basic architecture seems wrong...
★☆☆☆☆Juan Navarro· May 9, 2018
I have bad internet as I'm cruising, so it took several attempts to
download the 245 MB chart I'm entitled to use, since I bought the paper
version less than a year ago. The app tells me the chart is obsolete, and I
have to update it. It doesn't let me use the one I downloaded. Why did it
offer that one for downloading? Why can't I use it if I paid for it? So
far, just a waste of my time.
