Nice and easy. Great buy
My only complaint would be to have the display stay on during operations if the phone is on charger. Other than that the app does the job.

Waste of money for N Californians
Zero stars if it was possible. Yeah update coming but when. Live in northern Ca & my location is determined to be in Maine. I only downloaded maps in N Ca but call up any famous N Ca lake & boom you’re taken to East Coast. Pretty much seems to be false app advertising. I would look elsewhere for lake maps. UPDATE: Two maps were updated, thank you. So I’ll give one more star for that. But, I ended up moving on to the Navonics app. $9.99/yr. Navonics works great on my iphone, extremely detailed & saved the day when my buddy’s sonar and GPS stopped working. This one had my location in the Midwest. Getting closer. I appreciate the update for the 2 lakes but needed something that worked better for inland fishing. I found it. I’ll keep this app tucked away in a folder, because it cost so much, but mainly in hopes it improves over time. I’ll play with it periodically to check on it. Until then, I’m sorry, but I had to find a better app.

Excellent small boat charting option!
Moved recently from Florida to Utah. Have encountered a number of nautical challenges transitioning from coastal chart plotter navigation to inland lakes navigation. Garmin & Lowrance both want a fortune for their chart plotter options in both inland and coastal products. This i-boating USA app. Provides fabulous detail on both coastal and inland options for a very, very reasonable price point. Awesome option alternative to big boy price gouging for marine navigation.
