Enjoy the best of both worlds - paper and digital: A perfect match is our popular combination package of high-quality digital charts and cleverly designed paper charts. Alternatively, you can also purchase digital nautical charts directly via the app with a convenient annual subscription that renews automatically. The integrated update service keeps the charts up to date.
If it is not yet clear where the journey should go or no offline charts are activated, free online charts can be displayed for all NV Charts chart areas, even without a currently valid chart licence.
Detailed and relevant information is essential for navigating safely on the water. With the NV Charts App, you are part of the BoatView community yourself. You can mark harbours, anchorages and navigation warnings on the digital nautical chart and also add pictures of interesting places that go beyond navigation, such as restaurants or popular attractions, and share them with the community. Others can respond directly with comments. The continuously edited content can be downloaded directly to be available offline. To make all the information easily accessible, the app offers a search function. You can explore the surroundings and search directly for place names as well as anchorages, harbours, ramps, waypoints, cranes, fuel stations or tide stations. The app also offers fast and flexible auto-routing, allowing you to navigate directly to your destination and edit a route manually.
Navigation on board is even more fun together! You can share your tracks with friends or use the data outside the app and export it as a GPX file. You can easily share your favourite harbours and anchorages from the app via a link and coordinate your trip planning even better with everyone.
The AIS function in the NV Charts App allows you to keep an eye on AIS signals in real time. A WiFi AIS receiver can be connected to the NV Charts App for this purpose. The AIS Class A and B targets and aids to navigation (ATON), as well as MOB AIS SART transponder emergency transmitters, are displayed, and the traffic situation can be better assessed.

The charts are accurate and useful, but the account setting and payment options need significant improvement. I created an account on my mobile 3 years ago and downloaded a chart that since then was updated every year, at nearly 50 EUR. I got charged a day early, and when trying to access the map could not even see it because it was "expired". I also had great difficulties activating the account on a second device. Also, the left-side menu in the app is nonintuitive, and the app generally slow.

Terrible maps and app. Impossible to get one uniform look on the maps with out of focus parts mixed with small vector units, mostly harbours... app itself not very well thought through. I regret spending my money on this useless conception.

At best, the app shows the charts you have purchased (one by one). Syncing of routes and markers between various devices (iOS, Android and MacOS), a rather basic function, does not work... Hilarious that now the app has augmentic reality: they are trying to run before they can walk.... Question is of course if it is even feasible for NVCharts to make a decent digital app: the charts can only be displayed one by one in the app. Basic architecture seems wrong...

The app was working happily and I had created a number of routes logbooks and waypoints, which have now disappeared. Update:Tech support sent a patch which has fixed the issue and a further update has added to the app. It would be great to export log book files as gpx files with speed etc

After the last update it doesn't load online charts at all, it doesn't show my outdated charts I've bought earlier. After each update the app gets new functions and becomes more useless. It seems the time to uninstall it.

This app does not allow bitwarden to fill in usernames and passwords, and the password fields do not allow pasting passwords. This makes it very difficult to use with a password manager.

The app is great. It definitely makes route planning easy, and fun. The customer support that accompanies the app is bar none. We had a slight issue loading the charts onto my phone and Jessica at NV stepped in and fixed the problem very quickly. Thank you!

Perfect for easy and inexpensive coastal navigation. Super clear charts in large book form, with app for use on most devices (mine run android). Garmin and Raymarine must be worried.
