UPDATE : JULY 2024. I'd been using the Navionics Boating App on my old iPad mini however recent updates to the Navionics Boating App mean features like relief shading no longer work on iPads with older that IOS 13 installed. IOS 12 was the latest my old iPad could run. I'm now running a newer iPad Mini 6th Gen which has IOS 17. Hope this helps to update the video.
Thank you very much. It maybe worth noting that when I came to renew the subscription it wouldn't run relief shading or navigation on an older iPad with IOS 11.something. You need iPads that run IOS 12 and above. I fortunately had a newer iPad that now runs Navionics.
No stone left unturned! As a long term user of Navionics as a shore angler, I have learned a lot from your incredibly thorough break down of the app! Many thanks Phil!
You're most welcome, it's an app I wouldn't be without. I understand some of the more expensive chart plotters also use Navionics software. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Very good video. One further function i found handy was that using the Tide feature where you can drag side to side through the times, that actually changes the depths on the chart itself. I often have to cross drying areas to get into creeks etc. This feature allows you to see the actual depths as the tide changes. Very handy not to have to calculate that in your head.
Thanks for the comments. I agree, that's a great feature of Navionics. I've been busy using it again on my latest adventure 'Fishing Falmouth 2024'. Great App and really helps for boating.
Thanks for that mate. This will be a very a useful video once I get out on the water. Thanks for taking the time to break it down into laymens terms 👍 Top man 🤝
No problem, plenty of time before the weather gets appropriate for the SIB to be creating a few 'marks' and 'tracks' for future use. Take care on the water. Phil.
Thanks. If you plan a route or set a waypoint Navionics gives a course to steer and draws a line on the chart to the next way point. As you tack you'll be able to see how far off course you go. The track log should zig zag across the course to steer. I'm a dinghy sailor too.
Nice overview. I didn't realise just how complicated the charts are on Navionics on tablets/phones. On a dinghy I've been using Savvy Navvy which is much more basic but has some nice features too, especially for smaller boats. This reminds me to probably do a review of that!!!
Hi Dave, I'm not familiar with the Savvy Navvy app. I can recommend Navionics for use on the Lugger. Even if it's on a iPhone in a water proof case the route plotting and course to steer etc would be very helpful in inland water passage planning. Also have a look at the RYA safe trx video I have on the channel. That could be a life saver too. Stay safe on the water. Cheers Phil.
been playing catchup on your channel, althought im not a fisherman i love the content and style you present it , Reel Time is a lovely boat, i have an Eagle 525 trailer sailer ive yet to sail but will be mooring it very soon , so this bit on navionics i found very usefull especially the fishing depth shading contours, i see you have a garmin striker 4 as well can you do a feature on this as i bought one for my boat as all the instruments need renewing and this was a nice piece of kit to use instead , i looked up the relief shading of Bala where i do sail and found it amazing
Hello Spud, thanks for watching and commenting. Many years ago I visited Moreton Boats near Lincoln where they were building Eagle 525's. I think they were originally called Skipper 17's or something like that. The Garmin Striker 4 is a good bit of kit for the money. I have two of them, one on Reel Time and one on the kayak. I'll have a look at doing a video during the winter when I've a little more time. Do you also watch Sailing with Dave? He has a really good channel and he also sails on Lynn Tegid. Phil.
@@anotherangleUK yes i know sailing with Dave as im at Bala sailing club as well, , i watched his channel then met and sailed with him on LuLu , i bought a lugger based on his adventures, i sold it in May and bought the EAagle , my wish to get back to the sea in 2025 is now a reality based out of Aberystwyth. , i love all things boats and just being on the sea , its very calming
Thanks. I didn't mention that you can change the chart and data formats. My head works in metres, litres, knts and nautical miles when I'm on the boat. You can have feet, mph etc. Phil.
Thanks Gordon, good budget set up for a little fishing boat. Handy to be able to create waypoints on my iPhone Navionics app which then sync with the iPad on the boat 👍
Thanks very much. The boat is an Orkney Coastliner 14 foot. Mine is over thirty years old but they are still built new today by Orkney Boats. Great design.
@@anotherangleUK I've had trouble reading the fine print with my youtube menus so I apologies - it was right in your text. I've been using the re;ief shading for several seasons bit have learned aboout its other featires/ Thank you so much for taking the time for creating this video - the people at NAVIONICS owe you a big thank you!! The shading was a great help when I fished out of Brookings, OR where there was a lot of structure - Now I'm going to be fishing out of Westport WA and I see little structure in their local sea bottom until 25 miles West near the canyons. Thank you Thank you!!
Thanks again Don. Just mindful to check any routes that Navionics plots. It's generally very good but occasionally can make a mistake around moorings etc. I find it really good for taking me to a target mark in the middle of nowhere - just goes direct to the mark. Stay safe out on the water and tightlines mate.
Hi, for the AIS to work you need a compatible AIS receiver which I don’t have. So it’s not something I can help with unfortunately. Glad you found the video useful.
Really informative, need your suggestion sir, I have purchased a navionics mobile subscription for Indian Ocean but I'm not able to use relief shading although relief shading option is available but not getting detail information . No Overlay and relief shading both shows same information no detail features . Plz help me to get the access for relief shading.
Hi, thanks for the comments. The best suggestion I can offer would be to contact Navionics (or other users in your area) and ask if your area has been 'mapped' with the relief shading. I think I read somewhere that this feature may not be available in all locations. Hope this helps and you get it sorted.
Hi Bob, thanks for asking the question. It is an iBOLT Tabdock Bizmount AMPs They were about £30 a few years ago. It is sturdy and has stood up to crashing about in the boat. Thanks Phil.
Hi Thanks for watching all the way across in the USA. This is the sixth video in a series about Small Boat Fishing here in the UK th-cam.com/play/PLUx1B0hBA-o3yXeiqMQLzNHNCFII-S4SI.html There aren’t six Navionics videos. Phil
Thanks, there are so many features on these Apps it has taken a couple of years use to begin to explore everything. It has been good to find a use for the 2011 vintage iPad - hopefully the Navionics team will ensure future updates work with these older devices. Phil.
Absolutely brilliant video definitely one of the best on TH-cam went out from Anglesey Saturday just gone 18th may absolutely thick with fog couldn’t see anything and had a problem with my chair plotter which is fixed to the boat if I had known about this sooner, it would’ve been perfect we run a ground twice no damage but quite bad to get back thanks again for brilliant video 👍🏻
Thanks. Take care mate, fortunately you got back safe and without damage to the boat. Fog is very scary stuff when it comes in think n fast. Get Navionics on your phone at the very least as a back up.

Fantastic explanation Phil of navionics 👍also a great app for finding new marks from the shore for sea fishing and freshwater👌
Thanks Douglas, I found a few things that will help whilst trolling for the Ferox if we do that again this year. Phil.
Easily the most informative video on this subject been thru loads now know what I’m doing thanks
Thank you very much. That's nice to hear it's helped. Let me know if you have questions and I'll try my best to help.
Excellent and informative video! Well done and thank you so much

Happy to help, thanks for taking time to comment. Phil.
Thanks for this. I've been using it for a while , and found a few great new things I can use. Thanks for a great effort.
Hi, no problem, glad you've managed to get some tips from the guide. I like the Navionics app, it works just fine for me.
Great video, I'm a yachtie but all still relevant.

Glad you found it helpful. I’ve a video out later today showing me navigating to a mark out on the water.
Excellent video - thanks.

Hi Bob, thanks for asking the question. It is an iBOLT Tabdock Bizmount AMPs They were about £30 a few years ago. It is sturdy and has stood up to crashing about in the boat. Thanks Phil.
How we can hide the legend from map please?
That’s a good question. I’ll have a look and see what’s possible. Other viewers may have the answer and if so please feel free to add a comment here.
Part 6? Where are parts 1,2,3,4, & 5?

@@anotherangleUK oh, got it. Thank you.
I was thinking it was the six’th video about this Navionics app.
No problem, I guess it is a bit confusing now you point it out. Anyway, hopefully the one Navionics video helped you.
@@anotherangleUK yes. I’m very new and learning Navionics. Thank you for this video.
a lot of very good Information there Phil for people that do that, they will find some good spots to fish, well done Thank you,
