As I know many new features are going to be added to the app soon.” - app store review. “Finally a combination app of different features together with an active team that actually develops it further to perfection. In addition, the team behind it builds future features directly around their members' feedback. Designed by boaters for boaters (and anyone else wishing to get out on the water!), the savvy navvy app removes the need to use multiple apps to plan a trip at sea. Founded just a few years ago by ex-Google Software Engineer and avid sailor, Jelte Liebrand, this new boating app is designed to be easy to use whilst integrating all the essential information you need into one place. In many ways, savvy navvy can be thought of as the new kid on the block. Users may find themselves flicking between Navionics and other tidal planners or weather forecast apps to get all the information they are looking for.
The routing provides a basic “Dock to Dock” course, but does not take any weather or tidal information in to consideration. In many cases, the information is only accessible through additional screens, rather than as an overlay on the chart.
While the focus has clearly been designing and maintaining up to date detailed charts, the Navionics app does also provide some details on weather, tidal stations and basic routing. With user-sourced data and various visual overlays including sonar chart shading, the detail is perfect for anyone that wants to see absolutely everything around, and under the water. In fact, you could say that the main focus of Navionics is the charts, which are extremely detailed. As with any long-established product, you may notice that the interface can seem a bit more dated than other iOS and Android apps as menus, buttons and the general interaction models might not be as “native” as one would expect, but it does offer a LOT if you need detailed charts. A well known name in boating, Navionics is tried and tested around the world. In 2017 Navionics was acquired by Garmin Ltd. The company was founded in 1984 by Giuseppe Carnevali and Fosco Bianchetti who introduced the world's first marine electronic chart plotter, the Geonav. Navionics is an Italian manufacturer of electronic navigational charts.
