Recent reviews
this app used to work, just about. After a recent update it can take about 10 minutes to load or just doesn't. if you do manage to make routes, as soon as you try to transfer them to the chart plotter it will just delete them.... completely unusable....

Totally unusable. It asks for my email address, but won't let me type it in. The only other option is Facebook login, but that crashes. I uninstalled it, don't waste your time.
