It's free! Developed by a bunch of sailors. Well done guys. I've completed 2 circumnavigations using OpenVPN. A lot of hard work and collective intelligence have been put into this over many years.

Took some time and learning curve to get set up but great results as chart plotter. Better than Ray marine on my boat except can't run autopilot. Installed on samsung s7.

This is one of my favorite apps, it's not compatible with all of my devices, but that's ok, it works on the ones I need it to. Having a free chart plotter that's better than my rather expensive GPS is awesome, however that says a lot about Gamins quality and not much of it good. Thank you to all the developers who have worked on this to make it one of the best navigation tools I have.
★★☆☆☆
This program can also be downloaded for a PC where it works a lot better. The automatic chart download function does not seem to work on the android version. The ENC charts appear to need to be downloaded separately, which is a real pain.
★★☆☆☆
Clunky, slow, hard to find settings. Can't figure out how to change depth from meters to feet. I've been using and writing software for over 40 yrs, can't figure this app out. Poorly designed.
