Aqua Map Boating

Aquamap is the best chartplotter I have used — and I have used a lot of them. They all take time to get to know. Aquamap too. But a lot of it is intuitive, and worth the effort. It has a ton of features, including some forms of remote access, great integration of AIS and weather, access to all sort of nautical information, and active captain, which is not quite what it once was but is still helpful. It is also inexpensive — quite remarkably cheap. Best of all, Aquamap clearly was not produced in some basement, by some nerd who was trying to make some money to buy more silly computer games. The team is responsive, listens to ideas (honestly, they had already thought about everything I have suggested to this point) and continues to be innovative. I have convinced many fellow sailers to try it. None has been disappointed.

I have been using Aqua Map for about two months and am very impressed with the many features in the app. Previously I had been using Transas Isailor, Sea IQ, and Open CPN. All three of these programs are good, but I am finding Aqua Map to be much more user friendly and feature rich. As important as the features of the program are, the EXCELLENT customer support provided by The Aqua Map team is essential. I had a problem connecting my external GPS and AIS data to the app. My NMEA settings for these features worked on my other navigation programs, but no matter what I tried I could not get it to work with Aqua Map. After two email exchanges with Pietro from Aqua Map the problem was resolved. Pietro’s responses were accurate and timely, and I came away with the feeling that these guys really care about their product and reputation. Thanks again for your help, and please continue to make your application the best navigation software in the marketplace. Mark

I love Aqua Maps. I can’t say that enough. I have been accused of getting a kick back from Aqua Maps because I tell everyone how good it is. I have personally turned over 20 people on to it. I started out in Lake Michigan over a year ago and wanted to use ActiveCaptain for our up coming trip. We had been using it for years and I have a lot of reviews on it of our old cruising grounds but then all the issues came up with Garmin. Three days before we left to head down Lake Michigan I found Aqua Maps. This is one great chart plotter. We use it for all our route planning and as a second chart plotter in the cockpit. The charts are spot on and have not let us down in over 4 thousand miles of ICW to Bahamas cruising. Works great and at a very reasonable cost. We still let everyone know about it. Would not be without it.
