Description

A clearly structured navigation app with intuitive and comprehensive tools for navigation on board. All current editions of the boating charts or maps from NV Verlag / NV Charts can be easily downloaded and used for offline navigation with the NV Charts App. All latest editions of NV Charts nautical boating charts or inland charts including | North Sea | Baltic Sea | Netherlands | Wadden Sea | IJsselmeer | Sweden | Denmark | Germany | Norway | France | USA | Caribbean | Bahamas areas are compatible with NV Charts App.

One way to have great nautical charts both on paper and on our phone or tablet is to use our popular combination pack of paper and digital nautical charts, which includes both charts in clever atlas format and a license for digital nautical marine boating charts/maps for use in the NV Charts App, including an update service. The advantage: Both your paper and digital charts are up to date.
In addition you can also purchase digital boating charts as a subscription directly in the NV Charts App. The subscription duration is one year and is automatically extended.
If it is not yet clear where the journey is going to take you, free online charts can be displayed in the app, even without a current subscription or valid paperchart edition.

The latest information is essential for safe navigation on the water. With the NV Charts App you have the possibility to become part of the Seame boating community. You can now add marinas, anchorages and navigation warnings to the digital chart and also add and share interesting places beyond navigation, such as restaurants or points of interest with pictures. Others can respond directly with comments. The continuously edited content can be downloaded directly to be available offline. In order to make all information easily accessible, we have improved the search function: You can explore the surroundings and search directly for place names as well as anchorages, harbours, ramps, waypoints, cranes, petrol stations, or tide stations. In addition, an auto-routing function has been integrated, which allows you to navigate directly to your destination.

Together navigation on board is even more fun! You can now share your tracks with friends or use the data outside the app and export it as GPX file. You can share your favorite harbours and anchorages from the app simply by clicking on a link and coordinate your trip planning even better with everyone.

With the AIS function in the NV Charts App you can keep an eye on AIS signals in real-time. You can connect a Wlan AIS receiver to the NV Charts and the app display AIS Class A and B signals and navigation aids (ATON), as well as MOB AIS SART transponder distress transmitters, directly in the digital chart in real-time and the traffic situation can be assessed better.

The NV Charts App can be installed and synchronized on multiple devices.

Great companion to the paper charts

I’ve used the app crossing from the Netherlands to England as a companion to the paper charts. It integrated easily with the boat network to show AIS data and is quick to reference in the middle of the night. A really positive surprise was that when planning at home, the online charts are all available so you’re not limited to those you purchased to look at different areas. The synchronization between laptop, phone and iPad works but sometimes has to be triggered manually so the routes and tracks are all up to date. Why not 5 stars? The function I miss is importing and exporting gpx to get the route to the boat instruments and importing tracks from them as the app isn’t running all the time. All in all an excellent combination.

I have older US East Coast Charts - NV updates don’t appear to exist

Did NV abandon the US East Coast? I see Florida and passages (16.1) but what about the others (3.1 and 3.1 for example)? I would hate to switch to another manufacturer. NV has a solid product.
