Navionics® Boating - Latest Quality Issues
iOS

Since it's GARMIN it's been a disaster
Unable to buy or subscribe to new cards I have been in contact for 6 weeks by email with useless answers because GARMIN considers that everything is fine ON IPAD IPHONE AND PC

What Happened
I've purchased this for years and use it for fishing and I downloaded it and have a active subscription however it doesn't update how do I fix it
Android
Jan 12, 2025
I have an active subscription but the app says I need to renew my subscription. I clicked on renew but then I get an error message saying I already have a subscription. The app refuses to let me load maps or do any other paid fumctions. Of course no one uses boats on the weekend so why would Garmin have support on the weekend? There support is on Mon-Fri during day hours. I have equipment from "mom and pop" companies that provide weekend support. WORTHLESS!!!

PRICE
priced way too high
Android
Jan 13, 2025
When I first "bough" Navionics, it was an app purchase, not a subscription. Then they made it a yearly subscription. Now we can't even download or use the app without a CAD80$/year subscription? You guys are absolutely exaggerating and abusing your user. Looking for substitute! This is straight up laughing at us. You're going to loose alot of faithful users and deserve it!

Overpriced . Since Garmin took it over it's no longer appealing

Less than 1 star. You guys just ruined the best thing you had going for you because of corporate greed. Garmin, you failed big time with this decision! I paid for lifetime membership 20 years ago and now you want to pay again every year!!?? GFY Garmin.

I paid the one time purchase years ago and now they want $49.99. This would be worth it for $20 at best. I won't be purchasing.

Way too expensive! I would pay monthly but not yearly. I might as well go out buy my GPS and keep for year.
