I know that I'm going to buy Navionics, simply due to impatience - I have a brand new gadget and I want to play with it ASAP. But I would still like to go down the raster route as well, I think it would suit my type of sailing well.
Mine is a small boat, less than 200kg empty, a little over fourteen and a half feet long, she draws about three foot with the board down and less than six inches with it up. I don't need to thread my way into unfamiliar narrow channels at night and running aground is not a disaster. For navigation purposes I'd just like to know where I am in relation to my destination and the shoreline I'm seeing around me.
Rocks and reefs do worry me, but would they have moved around much over the years?

I have a new device, so I'll have to buy Navionics again. Disturbingly it's only got a 2.6 star rating at the play store, from 47000+ reviews - mostly with regards to the massive jump in price, but it is also suggested many features require the subscription to be renewed every year. Is this true? The play store gives no indication of pricing.

Yeah, I don't fancy my chances of getting hold of them. I'm tinkering with my old paper charts and scanners etc and I'm not overly concerned with accuracy. I'm not sailing oceans and making landfall in a 40 tonne behemoth, I'm pottering along in a fourteen and a half foot open dinghy and relying almost exclusively on the mark one eyeball. It would be nice though to have a reasonable notion of where I am - roughly. With one hand on the tiller and the other for the mainsheet, you sometimes don't have the luxury of handling gadgets, hence the desire for a raster chart based moving map. I've just bought a cool looking 'ruggedised' tablet, with a decent battery capacity, so I'm checking out some options for that.

I toyed, for many years, with the idea of buying the MemoryMap Quickcharts Australian Eastcoast CD and then the direct download. By the time I finally pulled the trigger on my purchase, they were no longer available. So my question is, does anybody still use them or, if they have since moved on to something else, would they be interested in selling the CD. I know folk are going to recommend Navionics, but I've been purchasing Navionics again and again and again for years now and I'm getting fed up with the move to subscriptions that many businesses are pushing us towards. Besides, I'm not keen on Vector charts on small screens.
