Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

Used this for planning for years.

Suddenly stopped working, wonder if anybody has problems.

Will load but is unresponsive.

Wondering if Garmin has changed this free tool

Not what you want, but I use the online Navionics Chart Viewer all the time for general planning and it works great. https://webapp.navionics.com/#boatin...y=__yeGnn%60aM

Re: Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

thank you Kettlewell

Actually, is exactly what I use!

Just used your link and have same results.No responses

Connect but the windows are non-responsive, clicking on my account to log in,
clicking on the Viewers, no luck.

Re-started the laptop, cleaned up the browsing history as suggested by the Navionics support.?

Have you tried your Navionics Chart Viewer today?

Mine was working fine until last evening.

I don't have an account. Just viewing it on the web and it seems to work normally. Try it without your account.

Re: Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

tried.
with sign in, without sign in.

If you are not having problems, then it could be related to my laptop/browser.

It is strange because it has worked just fine.

Will try on my Windows laptop and see if is browser related.

Thank you very much for your time.

Really like it as a fast planning tool and has been invaluable for years.

take care

Re: Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

Looks like some changes have been made. They have added for me prices for charts. The map doesn't have the option to plot courses. They took something that was getting worse and made it even worse.

Re: Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

I loved playing with the chart viewer and playing with plotting courses/routes on the desktop and then being able to save and transfer to my mobile devices.

anyone else feel like Garmin is trying to run out all the navionics folks and force us into a chartplotter.

Re: Navionics Chart Viewer Problems

Garmin has taken this over and closed down the chart viewer. Really too bad, I used it all the time for routing planning on land before heading out. This was a disappointing discovery.

It won't be a Garmin, if/when I buy one.
