INavX Launches In-App Charts and Maps Purchase Capability

iNavX and Fugawi Partner to Deliver Largest Set of Marine Navigation Charts, Maps and Weather Forecasts Directly Through App

iNavX, the benchmark marine navigation mobile application, announced today, in partnership with Fugawi X-Traverse, the launch of its chart and map in-app purchase program.

Now enabled with one-touch purchase and download, iNavX gives boaters the most streamlined access to the broadest set of marine charts and maps from multiple providers. iNavX users will gain intuitive download capabilities for all of their favorite charts and navigation data such as Navionics’ worldwide chart catalog, Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) charts; Fugawi Aboard quilted Canadian and US charts; NV Charts for Europe, the US and the Caribbean; Theyr weather; Waterway Guide and much more from X-Traverse.com. The iNavX app is also the exclusive source for the stand-alone electronic version of the popular Explorer Charts for the Bahamas.

“Marine navigation is a crucial part of any boat trip, whether down the lake or across the ocean,” said Shaun Steingold, CEO, NavX Studios. “We respect that navigators have their own preferences for the tools they use to the charts they prefer, which is why we are the first app to give users a choice. While most apps can only distribute either their own charts or free National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) charts, iNavX is the most versatile and feature-rich navigation app available.”

iNavX is the leading marine navigation app and the only app that delivers hundreds of charts and features to sailors, boaters and anglers. The perfect marine navigation chartplotter that also fits in the palm of your hand, iNavX can be used as a primary chartplotter, a toolkit or as a redundancy system. The feature-rich app is capable of displaying current position in real-time using a mobile device's built-in GPS, as well as plotting course, bearing and waypoints. Supporting NMEA data over TCP/IP, iNavX also integrates with external GPS, AIS receivers and transponders, and networked instruments including depth, speed, wind, engine data, and battery voltage meters. Users can easily manipulate data by panning, zooming and rotating charts, and also downloading GRIB weather forecasts.

“iNavX has always been at the forefront of innovation for handheld navigation,” said Robin Martel, president of Northport Systems. “By working closely with our programmers, iNavX has streamlined access for its customers to the chart offerings available through Fugawi X-Traverse. With this new in-app purchase option, iNavX handheld navigation can be personalized to fit your needs, while remaining precise, efficient and cost-effective.”
