Useful utilities but clunky user interface

The concept of the package is good, but the software is just not what you would describe as intuitive or easy to use. This is the main overall issue. In brief the interface is dated and clunky ( requiring frequent checks to ' help') which is pretty good it must be said. Nonetheless, this software needs better user interfaces and I suspect would benefit from critical user testing to improve. One bug bare, for example, is that some of the dialogue boxes don't render/ wrap text correctly (or need formatting every time, like route planning outcome). Another is that maps don't tile seamlessly ( or if they do, not by default, which it ought to be). It has the feel of early memory map 'noughties' software. So, I like the intended utilities on offer, just not the interface or implementation in too many cases.

Thank you for this review of NavigationPLANNER, we are always pleased to see opportunities to improve the program. The visualisation of the maps is governed by the Navionics developer kit and we are working with them on a new chart presentation for an upgrade planned for next year. We have not received a comment concerning the text wrap before and would be pleased to see a specific example. The route planning with course to steer and optimum departure time are strong points of the package. The program has a large number of features and we try to group these in a limited number of menu items to simplify use. There is also a list of YouTube videos showing how to use the program and these are available on the website and are usually also provided with the activation instructions or during the free ten day trial. We are usually available online to assist where required. As a final point, the price for NavigationPLANNER is a once off payment not a subscription. We do not generally charge for routine updates and we have users with software originally purchased before 2011 who now have the latest version. Apart from cases where the three original licences have been used, we may request an optional modest contribution to our costs where the program is five or more years old.

NavigationPlanner software works as promised which is a pleasant surprise for someone like myself who is not very tech savvy on software, and I was very pleased with results of the optional integration with theyr weather for the addition of wind , waves and tides.

A Very Happy Customer

I haven't been able to check the PC Plotter software and connectivity yet as we have not been allowed to the boat during covid. However, We did contact the vendor and they were polite and helpful as I was upgrading the software from Navigation planner to PC Plotter. If the Planner is anything to go by I suspect that the Plotter Software will behave in the same, well designed, developed and tested manner.
Based on the Planner I am very happy to recommend this company and it's Navigation products with the aforementioned caveat.

Perfect service

Perfect service, responsive and friendly.
I use PC Plotter, it's a really good software and I can use my navionics charts offline from my PC hard drive, while using the SD card in my plotter
