Navionics, an Italy-based company that offers electronic charts and cartographic information of rivers, lakes and marine bodies to boaters, has launched an updating boating app that provides a truly splendid and unmatched array of navigation, weather and routing apps to allow for more safe and enjoyable boating.
One of the most innovative features of this boating app is the ability to program a network of family and friends with whom users are able to go about sharing their locations. Elsewhere, the app also allows Navionics subscribers to save and share their routes, allowing them to disperse their knowledge to other boaters and build a more supportive boating community.
With further features such as maps containing points of interest such as marinas and potentially hazardous areas, this boating app is truly designed to help boaters cover all their bases and make the most of their time out on the water.
