Constant crashes at any time. Sometimes will connect to the plotter but always crashes when trying to sync. Just got a whole new suite of b&g electronics for our sailboat absolutely terrible mistake. Should've gone with Garmin would advise the same. From the plotters lack of features and the software malfuctions, to this app experince less than 1 star. Waste of $20k back to using a tablet with navionics and aquamaps.

Premium chartplotter with the crappiest app ever. I can't sync with the plotter. Even though I'm connected to the plotter's hotspot, app can't find the device and asks me to retry wifi connection. Retry what, wifi is connected. iPad apps works find but android is a joke. And there is no support number either in the app or b&g website. I can't even submit support question in the app; I get submit error.

I was happy with it at first, however in order to sign into the app you must have an internet connection. Once signed in the connection is no longer needed. I had to reboot and then needed internet to get back in. Unacceptable if I depend on it. The good news. The chart download is very flexible and the charts are clear and can be zoomed in as much as you want. It offered contour lines as an option which made depths very clear. Routes are easy. Create a start & finish the app does the rest.
