From weekend gunkholing to blue-water crossings, boaters rely on iNavX when it matters. Here is what they — and the marine press — have to say.
Cruising · Transatlantic
Cruising Mexico, Ellie heard another sailor rave that his nav program put him exactly on his boat. They bought an iPad in Panama City, crossed the Atlantic both ways, and cruised the Caribbean — always reaching for iNavX over Navionics.
Storm · Long Island, NY
Caught in a northeast storm before dawn, SwimBikeSail let iNavX guide his old Mako safely into a sheltered harbor — the "Sandpit" off Long Island. He credits the app with saving his boat, and still leans on its anchor alarm.
Charter · Hudson River
A former Caribbean charter captain took a boat out for a bachelor party with broken gear and no charts. He ran iNavX as his primary chartplotter, set waypoints and routes on the fly — and it "worked flawlessly."
Racing · Block Island
"Used iNavX on the iPad over a Garmin during a Block Island race for the better display and chart detail. Plotting waypoints is easy, and the free NOAA charts auto-update."
Bluewater · Alaska → Fiji
AKSailor has run iNavX from Alaska through Canada and Mexico, then across the Pacific to Fiji. Years of passages, one app — with navigation quality tracking the strong regional chart coverage.
Cruising · S. America → NZ
The crew of s/v Mahayana have used iNavX as their primary navigation for over four years — South America to North America, the Great Lakes, and inland waterways — now prepping a Pacific crossing to New Zealand.
"I race offshore and iNavX is the only thing on my phone I trust for backup navigation. Waypoint export to my crew is instant."
"Replaced a $2,400 chartplotter on our cruising cat. NOAA charts, GRIB weather, anchor alarm — everything we need in one place."
"The instrument repeater over NMEA is flawless. I have wind, speed, and depth at the helm and again below at the nav station."
From ocean crossings to AIS Live, the sailing press keeps coming back to iNavX.
