Hi all, I left me Samsung tablet in for repair while they had it they upgraded the software which did a factory reset of the device, not a problem really as I can down load all my apps again, but I now find that Navionics no longer have an app for aus&nz waters.

Just wondering if this is a temporary glitch or will I have to buy new maps or go with iSalior.

I do have Navionics on another $100 Android device but it's nice having it on the bigger screen.

Just go on the play store look in your apps and 're load them

Yes, to be precise, the steps are:

- Go to play.google.com/store
- Select Apps
- Select My Apps
- Select the Navionics ANZ app
- Click on Installed
- Select which device you want it re-installed to

If you've paid for it once, you won't have to pay for it again.

Sorry about that, I was pretty vague there. Hope it all works out ok.
I'm glad they updated it yesterday. Mine was playing up. The maps would not pop upon zooming and the little red arrow was not happy. All good after update but. Jeez I wish I could export tracks between devices but, not just to Google earth. There's gotta be a way you can cut and paste a folder to make this work?

Hi,

I use Navonics on an Apple Ipad and up until recently have been able to link waypoints, routes etc to a Raymarine plotter by wireless link. This was great, you could prepare the route at home then down load to the boat system, Navonics was also a lot easier to use than the Raymarine systems.

After a recent software update the transfer stopped working and it tells me I need to update the plotter charts to the highest level. The lesson is that if you have these things working to your satisfaction be very wary of the updates that come through. Have a look at what is changing and only accept if there is some likely benefit.

Ahah!! So the initial cheap download is just bait to get you hooked so you will spend more money to get the latest you beaut.

Quite a cunning business plan.

Do a search on PBO forums and there are dozens of pages on this very problem starting in early 2012.

One more on positive notes.
I paid for these expensive Apps
TOMTOM and
Hema 4 WD maps
guess what, both upgraded straight away.
None of them experience any problems.
I would expect Navionics does the same.
