Savvy Navvy Boating Navigation

I recently rented a boat and was looking for digital charts to show me places to avoid. I didn’t want to take a chance at damaging the rental and having to pay for repairs. I found these charts to be lacking in the detail that I was looking for in the lake that I was using. I can’t speak for other lakes or offshore waterways. I tried the trail maps but quickly decided that the application didn’t fit my needs. I canceled the trial and deleted my account. I found that I was still charged for a subscription that I didn’t intend to start. I found a few dead ends while initially trying to resolve the issue of being charged. I was then contacted by Savvy Navvy’s customer support. The issue was quickly resolved and a refund was issued immediately. I have to say, I’m very happy with the customer support and communication. I was also informed that they are working to add more lakes to their database. When I purchase a boat, I will check back for updates.

The first time I used this app was on a trip to key west and our first time boating there. The app was extremely accurate and provided great detail. It even showed some sunken boats in the area that were very small but great for snorkeling. When I showed the map to the man at the boat rental company and asked him what he could tell us about these boats He asked me what app that was as he had never seen one with such great detail and didn’t know of 4 of the 6 boats listed. We snorkeled 3 of them and reported back to him how great they were so he could recommend them to future customers. This summer I will be using the app in The Thousand Islands Region of NY. Great APP

This is the first sailing app I’ve used that works to answer the most important questions I have as we sail: what is the current doing? Can I point to get there or will I have to tack? Well worth the price of subscription. And more importantly, it doesn’t show extraneous information and map features that clutter up other navigation apps. This adds to convenience, but most importantly SAFETY when a split-second decision is needed and your plotter is the key source of information. Finally it is a beautiful presentation. Our boat is beautiful, and Savvy Navvy fits right in. Other chart plotters look like the product manager’s kid chose the icons and colors. All the features I might want aren’t here yet, but I appreciate how the company is being careful about adding what is essential, vs. throwing the kitchen sink at the product.
