Your presentation should be INCLUDED with every NAVIONICS purchase. Learned a LOT! Congrats...well done.

[@user-ty1xg3xl9q]

Most presenters are in a race to identify features of an app but do a miserable job of showing you how to access them and use them. You do not have that arrogant flaw; your pace is good, and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you ... thank you ... great job!

[@christophershort7806]

The best introduction to Navionics that I have found. Thank you for your help.

[@johnbeck2797]

This is so well organized, presented, and complete. Thank you for a most informative tutorial. So many others gloss over actions they take behind the scenes, creating more questions than answers.

[@finns27]

Thank you Jen, there was no stone unturned. You taught me a lot.

[@bjtimm]

Excellent! Really learned a great deal. Thank you very much!

[@VermontHomeWatch]

Really enjoyed your presentation. I've used Navionics for a couple of seasons, in a very basic way. Admittedly I had no idea this app had all of this functionality. Your presentation was very thorough, well organized and well presented. I learned a lot and am grateful for you sharing these features with us! Extremely well done!

[@paulgibson1778]

Thanks Jen, excellent tutorial and very grateful for your guidance and help

[@federicoreinel2040]

Great presentation and tutorial. It has been of great help to get to know the features in Navionics. Great Job! Thank You.

[@zainalh]

Excellent presentation! Learnt so much I thought I knew before, but didn't. Looking forward to using all the features on my next trip. A MUST for anyone using or planning to use NAVIONICS. A million thanks Jenn!

[@Madeveira-Spritz]

Thank you so much for this thorough and very dynamic presentation of features. Great and big big big thank you.

[@edjco]

Hands down the best, most informative information I’ve found on Navionics. Well done!

[@chrishume3673]

Thanks Jenn. Super tutorial, lots of detail, excellent pace, easy listening. I've been using Navionics for 2 yrs, but learnt a huge amount. Very grateful.

[@tombeckman211]

Thanks Jenn for the info! Good job!

[@Romeo-hy7kz]

I can't thank you enough. New Navionics user (ad of yesterday) and you seriously shortened my learning curve. I don't know if you are a teacher or not, but you have what it takes to be a first rate educator. Cheers.

[@kkutube1972]

Thank you so much. This is my first month using it on a jet ski. I used it before on a kayak but I was confused and did not like it. Your explanation of the history of this app really help me.

[@EstebanPorcelli]

Excellent presentation. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@johnmeyers3954]

Active Captain was not originally developed by Garmin. Jeff Segal privately and generously developed and shared it with us users. BUT I am glad that Garmin bought it and uses it with the Navionics application. This is a great tutorial. Thank you.

[@tammybaehr69]

This presentation was the most informative video I have found. It flowed extremely well.

[@flatcapjon]

Thanks really appreciated your tour. Very helpful 😀

[@richardbastin3647]

I’ve used navionics for several years on an iPad but after listening to your tutorial I now know how to maximize my use. You are much appreciated,

[@sarahkohlmd984]

Super tutorial! Thanks for your clear, well paced presentation on mobile Navionics. You showed how to use the app and identified details of interest to boaters. The discussion and examples about current were especially helpful. Thank you ❤

[@jimmyd6279]

Thanks so much for your explanation Jenn.Wonderful presentation.

[@kraznayaploshad]

Unquestionably the best walk through and explanation of this app available. Thank you

[@larrysperry1200]

Thanks for the excellent presentation. Very well organized and thorough. I watched it three times all the way through and gone back to time spots for refreshers. This was badly needed to get started off right. Very well done.

[@Susan-fg9jb]

Excellent introduction to Navionics. Very helpful, thanks!

[@markv7352]

[@politicsandtrains]

Great job, just bought a Samsung tablet specifically for Navionics. This tablet will be used between two boats, one in New Brunswick and one in PEI.

Very nice video. You explained Navionics very well, simple examples, at the right pace. You killed it!!!

[@derek8843]

Thanks Jen, this is the best tutorial I have seen on Navionics. The combination of general and nuance information answered so many questions and broadened my knowledge.

[@alg54]

Thank you from Halifax NS.

[@jorgedavila3941]

Great oresentation!!!!

[@butchg3990]

EXCELLENT!!!!!

[@erincollins6847]

Best video thank you so much . I have a question. Do you know where is a good place to possibly get even more boat education like the SOVP? 4 days classes that are offered at some places. Anything you recommend?

[@books4493]

VERY NICE

[@ahmedemaraa1978]

the best video ever 😍

[@davidnanney3120]

thank you! and amazing voice !!!!!!!!

[@michaelmcdonnell1172]

great video question. when it plots a route for you or boat too, does it take you there threw safe waters as far as deph and obstacles go and you can follow this without any troubles along the way?

[@edgatewood9463]

Awesome presentation! Garmin owes you a commission as I am upgrading to their product line after this.

[@railroad9000]

I have been looking for a backup navigation software for my boat. Looking at all the possibilities, including the free opencpn, this seems to be the best. The boat already has the full Garmin suite, including AI transponder.

[@railroad9000]

I meant to say AIS transponder. The boat is in Anacortes, WA.

[@PaddleDogC5]

I can't get my tracks to show on my map after I make a track. I was looking for the yellow trail line that I can see I see data but no track to look at to see my COG. Usually don't follow as set course. I want to check speeds at certain points on my COG. I am using Android smart phone MOTO G POWER. It's 2 years old. I think app works on both my iPad and my android phone with one subscription. Thanks for any help. Right now in winter I'm using the app in my kayak not my boat so I can't use my iPad. Not sure if it yellow track line only works on Apple products?

[@samuelrodriguez9155]

What iPad case has worked best for you?

[@markknopic3864]

Great information and presentation! Can you tell me if the devise you choose to use needs to utilize a cellular signal for this app to work?

[@robertpace5447]

The app needs gps data from some source. iPhones have gps but not all loads do. I have an iPad without a gps/cellular signal but I have an AIS system on my sailboat that has a WiFi network that I tie my iPad to. I also have the app on my iPhone which gives me two redundant systems

[@PortMoodyPowerSailSquadron]

Once you download the data, it works offline. Some functions won’t work offline, such as weather. But I frequently use Navionics offline while “off the grid” when I’m in the islands.

[@CastineKayak1997]

Is there a way to have navionics give bearings in magnetic instead of true

[@arnelllanto5808]

I can't see deep structure using relief shading on navionics . Can u help mi

[@rogeremeadows]

Any thoughts as to why Navionics works on my iPhone but not on my iPad?

[@atmm89]

is this available to Australia????, I have one

[@scottbell5781]

How do you connect Navionics to your chart plotter? Bluetooth, wi-fi, SD card? Which plotter do you use? Thank you

[@alexopweg]

Hi dear . Do you know if this application does have an AIS option included in the abonament please ? Regards !!!

[@causa2009]

Can I load this info onto an old Garmin device?

[@arnelllanto5808]

From Philippines ma'am .hoping for your response.thank you.

[@Hxdra-fan]

Anyone knows which App to download for stupid Apple iPhone to be able to store more than 1000 Markers for fishing?

[@r.bouth.6457]

Hello dear captain. I appreciate your video because I need some advice before to applicate for navionics app. 1. What brand and model of cellular is the best if someone won't to aplicate for navionics on a cellular for fishing ? 2. Must I download a particular navionics app for fishing ? 3. How much do l avionics app for fishing cost at august 2023 August ? Waiting to hear a according answer from you ?

[@janecme]

Nice vid, thanks but Boating App doesn't display ALL the Lat/Long - it gets cut off and I've not found a way to see all the Long, which is baffling

[@PortMoodyPowerSailSquadron]

Yes I find this annoying too. What I do is to copy and paste the Lat/Long position buy long clicking / holding your finger over the coordinates and you'll see it copies it to the clipboard, and then paste it into a note or something so you get the entire coordinates. :)

[@arnelllanto5808]

I am new angler.her in bohol Philippines.

[@cumahiburan7989]

how to buy maps or subscribe on android without using a credit card, please give me the tutorial, thank you...

[@karlbass7895]

At 1:13:20 you say that Garmin created Active Captain years ago. That's not correct. Jeff Siegel and Active Corporation created Active Captain. The product was sold to Garmin in 2017.

[@romeowhiskey1146]

Presentation HINT: Change your WHITE mouse marker to YELLOW and ENGLARGE. Viewers can better see the contrasting YELLOW on chart background...rather than trying to 'find' the WHITE on WHITE. Got it?

[@dondig2617]

I wish I knew the map location.

[@swsjm4794]

S'il vous plaît pouvez-vous m'envoyer ceci, je travaille dans la pêche

[@sevenhoki8478]

Oke

[@ianb4801]

With respect, your Navionics account might be user based but it's not really if you use Apple mobile gear and a chart plotter. I've just setup my new iPad for my upcoming crossing, from Panama to Australia, and I had to purchase map data for my iPad and for my Zeus3 chart plotter separately - and the data cards for the latter are mega expensive on top of what I've additionally spent on my iPad charts. Yes, I realise this is possibly far less common that for coastal sailing but my point remains - I've setup my iPad principally as a backup but why should I have to pay twice?

[@yottiechick]

Made THREE attempts at using navionics over the years, because each time I was promised that the "glitches" have been worked out. Three times it did not work. Phone or ipad doesn't matter; there is always a problem. Once the problem is overcome, another is encountered and then another and another and ... I always carry paper charts, but should NOT have to go back to using them after I have PAID money for access to this software. Each time I believe I have solved things and go to leave an anchorage and turn on my device to use navionics, I find a problem. It is never the same issue; always a different problem for some reason and usually when I just want to have a relaxed sail with convenient easy to use charts on a cockpit device. Money seems to be plowed into marketing and advertising this product, with an efficient system to take money from users, but it does not work !!!! It never bloody works.

[@bartsimpson3752]

Very informative but what version of Canadian english do you speak? Very American pronunciation. Rout? Mobil? Yikes 😮
