Which Navigation App for iPhone ?

[Therapy]

iphone on the way. (4s)

Lots of apps out there.

App store is crappy to navigate.

I want, more for fun, but don't want junk if I can avoid it:

nav app
tides
weather
radar

How to pick one that others (that know several) have rated?

And I thought lots of folks were using them...............

People are using nav apps on their iPads...it's a recent thread. The more pixels you have for an electronic chart, the better. I think it makes a huge difference. Maybe this is why it is not as popular for a phone?

I use NAVIONICS on my I Phone. Just downloaded it for 9.99 a couple of weeks ago. Seems to be a nice back up so far.

Been using Memory-Map on my iPhone & iPad.
iOS Mapping app | iPad iPhone offline mapping app | Memory Map
Lets me use all my current routes and waypoints on all my devices using GPX files.

I use flytomap & navionics on my iPhone. The flytomap will show the mile markers & the mile. Navionics used to before a upgrade over a year ago. I also use anchor alarm.

I use iSailor, free to download and you purchase charts. It seems more accurate than Navionics but the charts are fairly pricey ($25ea) still the chart are fairly large so are a significant savings over paper. The extra pixels of the iPad would make this much easier to use however as a back up I have found this app to be very good.

I would give it 4/5

Thanks for the answers so far.

Be very careful of some of the more expensive apps that do not support vector charts, chart stitching, or charge additional cash for charts that can't be re-downloaded after a period of time. Basic rule of thumb is that if it costs more than $30 as an app it isn't worth it. Navionics has good cartography.

I used Navionics on my iPhone as my primary navigation device for a 4 month cruise up the Inside Passage.

I think it's a fantastic product.

I was thinking that one too as that is what a friend has and says is good. I can use the NOAA charts I can download right?

But my friend tried to show me the place to download the app on his phone a few days ago and could not find it. Did it go away?
