Cant use because cant add my Vulcan 9 chartplotter. Able to connect to the device WiFi but the app would NOT add it as a device. Late Samsung S20 ultra phone. It would go through the process, tell me the device WAS added, but then I go into list of my devices in the app and nothing is there. Tried several times and gave up.
It has potential to be very useful. However it is very unstable and exchanging waypoints and tracks with Zeus plotter is intermittent at best. Android version often freezes and cannot select tick boxes. Whilst route planning is helpful more important they fix the connection to the Zeus plotter, otherwise it's a stand alone app.
I purchased a Vulcan 7 and installed this app purchasing the Premium version in order to setup routes prior to racing and then download at boat immediately prior to the race. Currently the app does not allow one to edit screen touched waypoints so that they reflect the accurate coordinates required for racing. It did allow this mmomentarily when first installed but not anymore therefore I am hesitant about completing the trial period. Also will not allow feedback from app to developer and has no help
The app lacks the reliability that is needed for save navigation. Tracks are often not saved and error messages are misleading (e.g. track too short to save, even though the tracking/recording has been activated for hours). Other apps on the same device don't have these issues.
I'm really unhappy with apps that make me input payment details before even basic functionality can be trialled. Against that judgement I tried it for one evening, 5 days ago only to find that there are absolutely no instructions on how to cancel the trial and impending payment. I've emailed but am now stressed about whether that will cancel payment. Just lock functionality after 2weeks unless purchased, like everyone else.
Not possible to establish a connection to a Vulcan 5 (updated firmware). As other users wrote: after going through the connection steps, the Vulcan finally does not show up in the list of connected devices. You can do the procedure over and over again with no result or error message. What do you need to detect the error?
The plotters are beautiful, but they horrendously suck in functionality. There's no information provided at all on the internet. They even miss some of the most fundamental settings like sonar depth offset and more. The gyro compass does not work at all and stopped working in the middle of the atlantic ocean many times.
The new version of the app crashes when i set an anchor alarm, and my phone is stating there are defects. I've used the app for years, a few glitches here and there that always seem to work out. I hope the new version smooths out soon as it is my go-to anchor alarm in the Caribbean when in shallow dive areas
Getting better all the time. Some hurdles in registrating the device, but managed to do so after few tries. C-map map new look is much better. Clearer than competition. However night navigation icons (which majority uses rarely) are still way too huge - it should scale to smaller when zooming in. Please compare this behaviour to Navionics. Also I have a bug when mirroring Vulcan screen - right section of the screen is green. Also the in-app feedback to B&G does not work, only shows blank...
Awful. Tried to reach for help but they are impossible to get hold of and do not respond to emails. App keeps failing to respond, does not show an accurate location, autorouting does not go the fastest or shortest route. I was hoping c-map would be a good alternative to navionics for sailing across the pacific. Happy to pay the extra for a system that has worked for me for years.
