    I downloaded the app and did an update on my go 7.. now it pwers on and off every 45 seconds... won't even stay on long enough to save my 22,000 waypoints I have in there.. no help from the app to fix it either . They probably just want access to my waypoints.. thanks simrad

    Been very good but lately the tide information does not load and the app crashes. Also auto routing has become erratic for my region

    The check out nearby never updates with photos or information. Will not remote control my Simrad Go7 XSE. The banner is always at the bottom taking up limited screen real estate while navigating. The show satellite on land only doesn't work. Should be able to turn off nearby items if it's not important, use the old Simrad Go app if the new one doesn't work yet and hide the bottom banner. All easy fixes. Until these are fixed, I will continue to use Navionics. S22 Ultra. Permissions allowed.
