Obviously I wouldn't rely on an app for critical navigation but this is totally broken. Has trouble getting a GPS lock even when my dedicated GPS app can lock in 3s. Must force quit app to update location, every time the screen sleeps or you switch away from app it ceases updating location. Navigation functionality is unintuitive and clunky -- it's a challenge even to get a bearing to a particular chart feature. Chart display itself is good, but that's about it.

Fantastic maps, offline downloads is a great feature. Please, improve the bottom drawer/swipe-up portion that shows up in many sub-menus during operations such as: Route planning, spot saving, home screen etc. It's very difficult to precisely swip up on that portion, and some instances are blocked by save or next button and functions related to that operation are completely blocked, or not hidden if cannot be used. Infuriating, worst part of the app aside from random crashes (multiple times/day

Does not work 90% of the time and there is no customer service. I called US support and was "next caller in queue" for almost 2 hours before it disconnected. Never once did anyone answer. I also emailed over a month ago and asked for updates several times. No answer. I don't think there is customer support for c-map products. Sadly I paid for a subscription. I would like my money back!
