I have just been doing some checking on how up to date
Navionics keeps its
charts and have found mine to be well out of date. I checked some recent Notices to Mariners and found they had not been applied, so started checking earlier ones. I have not found any from the last 2 years to have been applied.
2 years out of date!!!
So I tried downloading the area again only to get the message "You already have the maximum amount of detail available for the area". So I did a fresh
installation on a new device and downloaded
charts again .... still out of date.
Perhaps it's just the particicular package I bought "Asia and
Africa HD". When I purchased these in 2012,
Australia was included as well. Now it isn't, and if you want
Australia you need to buy a different package.
Can someone who has the Australian charts please check to see if they have been updated. An easy to check example is from December 2012 at Three Hut Point in Tasmania:
(Lookup Current)
The fixed light on shore has been replaced by a flashing light nearby.
I suggest anyone with these
Navionics charts should check if updates have been applied. The Navionics stand at the
boat show said they were right up to date, and these corrections would be automatically applied as an update to the app.
I have posted a support question to Navionics but that was almost 3 weeks ago and still no response other than giving a reference number.
