After I posted my complaint, I discovered that there is a June 15 ,2009 update available for this application. I downloaded it and will give it a shot tomorrow night. Would be nice if the update was "debugged."

Hi Paul,

I am sorry your experiencing problems.

There are a few options to correct the problem.

First, try to completely hard power down the phone then power back up. This removes any bad memory data and most often solves the problem.

Secondly, if the above does not resolve the issue please follow these steps.

Remove the application from your iPhone. This is easily done by pressing and holding down on the application… once they start wiggling, an “X” appears in a circle on the application icons. Press the “X” on the app, then click Delete.

• Then, delete the application from your iTunes application library as well. Locate the chart icon, right click “Delete”. Click “Remove”, then “Move to recycle bin”.

• Restart your computer, and your iPhone.

• Then go to the App Store, search Navionics, locate the same chart/app, and Buy it just as you did previously. Don’t worry, you wont be charged twice, iTunes will recognize that you have purchased it before… even when it says “are you sure you want to purchase, this will be charged to your credit card”, go ahead and continue… the next message will say “you already bought this app, do you want to download it again for free?” Please do this. Then re sync your iPhone with your application library on your computer.

• Please make sure that when you first launch the app, that your ‘Location Services’ is switched on, and that you agree to “allow” the app to use your current location.

Please let us know how you make out. We want you to be happy with your app.


Best Regards,

Navionics Mobile Team

Umm, even the 32 gig iPone 3G S is only $299. The 16 gig version is $249. I understand that there are planty of 16 gig iPhone 3G models available at $199. Although these are new 2 year subscription or 'upgrade' prices.

Appears that just the hard restart alone has helped with the crashing. Though I'm still in my office, I fired up the app and now it doesn't crash right away like it was doing-whether on the lake or sitting here at my desk. We'll see how it works tonight, if the possible thunderstorms don't ruin tonight's fishing trip.

Also downloaded the new 3.0 O.S., gotta wonder if that won't help things too.

Thanks Brent, I didn't know that. I find it amusing that Apple/Mac Nazis like to harp on the "it works like it is supposed to" and the "you don't have to restart it all the time" phrases when criticizing Windows, yet the iPhone requires restarting just like a Windows machine would.

Their response was "no promises, but they do expect apps for a couple other phone OS's soon"

They didn't mention the BlackBerry Storm, did they?

Went fishing last night and used the app flawlessly. Never crashed once. I'll try it out over the next few weeks and see if it remains that reliable.
