The whole Mediterranean sea is now more than half of the new price from Adriatic sea ( Croatia ). I have been using Navionics for 6 years already but the price rise is unacceptable! Will continue to use the free version!!
Developer Response
Dear Customer, due to significant changes to the licensing agreements introduced by our official suppliers of cartography data, Navionics has been obliged to change pricing and chart coverage in the Mediterranean area. The inclusion of the Adriatic area would have raised considerably its price, for this reason we decided to make it a separate region. More details about the changes introduced to the 2022 chart catalog are available here: https://tinyurl.com/57tnpkzs For any further information or assistance you might need, feel free to contact us from the app Menu> Submit Feedback or by emailing us to help@navionics.com referencing “Croatian sailor - iTunes review” in the subject field, so to be in direct contact with us.

Betrayed
Aleksandar011
I've been a long-time user of the Garmin Navionics Boating app and initially purchased it as a one-time purchase, as advertised. However, recent updates have introduced subscription-based services and discontinued support for non-renewable subscriptions. This feels like a departure from the original terms of purchase and leaves me disappointed as a customer. While I understand the need for updates and improvements, the sudden change in pricing model is disheartening. I hope the developers reconsider their approach to pricing and subscriptions in the future.
Developer Response
Hi Aleksandar, we are sorry to read of your disappointment. The Navionics Boating app has offered yearly subscriptions to chart updates and advanced features since 2014. From version 20.0 of the app, new changes have been introduced, and now chart details can be accessed only with an active subscription: http://tinyurl.com/mre8d9jc We do understand your position, but the new catalog prices reflect the evolution of the Navionics Boating app into a premium navigation tool offering the latest technology in chart updates, overlays, planning, navigation features and more. It offers the same mapping experience and value as our premium chart plotter charting products Platinum+ and Garmin Navionics Vision+ at a competitive price point. Please, email us from the app Menu > Submit Feedback, mentioning iTunes Review and your nickname Aleksandar011, so that we can be in direct contact. Enjoy your day.
Too expensive for Adriatic sea
Mirza07123
How is it possible that maps for Adriatic sea are that expensive i dont get it. Do you really expect people to pay for them?! Maps for Adriatic sea cost as much as multiple maps combined that cover like 10 times more area.Find new maps provider if this one is that expensive. Are you out of your mind?
Developer Response
Due to a significant increase in the fees charged by our official suppliers of cartography data, we have been obliged to modify prices & coverage area boundaries for the Adriatic & Mediterranean area: https://tinyurl.com/yy8rjwma We are confident that you will continue to appreciate the value & the benefits our app brings to your boating experience
