This app is deficient. Its essential purpose is to provide an importation link to allow a phone or tablet to transfer routs, tracks, and waypoints into a chart plotter like Simrad. Navico owns Simrad. They also own CMap. So, if you use Navoincs maps, your will be frustrated with this app. This app does not fully support Navionics because you cannot import tracks from a phone or tablet using Navionics. If you live in Norway, where Navico is based, CMap is fine. But we boat in the Florida keys, where Tracks are essential to finding key fishing spots and returning again. Tracks cannot be imported with this app. Even to import waypoints and routes is a complicated hassle requiring about 17 steps. Also, their tech support is almost useless. The only way to get tech support is to email them, and then it took over a month for them to respond. Their responses were essentially, we really do not care, go cry to someone else, why are you bothering us. But, at least I know why now. They sell CMap which competes with Navioncs. Navionics, are you listening? There is no way to get your tracks into a chart plotter. Hello! Is Garmin trying to put you out of business? You had better get this fixed.

This app is brilliant, and I can't understand the negative reviews - this app works just like a remote desktop for my B&G Vulcan 7 chartplotter, and does so perfectly and reliably. I've been using this app for a year now, and I've only found two shortcomings. Firstly, two-finger zooming isn't supported - i.e. you pinch and "unpinch" to zoom in and out, but have to use the + and - buttons at the bottom of the display. Secondly, the resolution seems to be locked to the same as that of the chartplotter, but this is understandable really, and my Vulcan is still nevertheless easier to read and clearer using my 10" tablet than it is with its own 7" screen.

Very handy. Duplicates my Lowrance HDS9 locator screen and I can change screens and navigate through menus, etc., right from my phone. Only complaint would be that it seems to take longer than it should to connect to the phone, even if it's a remembered device. Otherwise no problems or real issues. Love this app!!

This App was last updated in 2018 and when trying to Link my phone or Tablet it stated it my not work on newer devices. It won't work on my new 2019 Samsung Tab A or Samsung Galaxy Note 9. How bad is that?

I have NSS7 EVO3 and it used to work great on both my android tablet and phone, but this year 2020 it does not even appear on both of them. Something went wrong with the app I suppose.

App won't connect my Pixel 2 or a Samsung Galaxy S10 to a B&G Zeus 3s. There's no error message displayed, and there's no log to consult.
