    I just got a new phone and opened up my navionics app. While all of the markers are still showing, it has removed all of my downloaded maps and says I now need to subscribe for $50/year?! Is there anything I can do or am I screwed?

    Mine says the same thing, but even if I click no to the new subscription, all my maps open up.

    Something like this happened a few years ago with them. My app now says Boating app, but it still works the same. I think you just don’t get the bells and whistles. Maybe search your app store for that.

    Your subscription expired. Navionics now wants $50 a year from you to download maps and receive updates. If you’ve paid in the past you can still access your markers and the maps you previously downloaded. You cannot, however download new areas. This last bit is a bummer because if I go to a new area I won’t be able to view the lake information but I ain’t paying no $50 a year. Thankfully I’d already zoomed in on a large portion of MN

    I get that I cannot download new maps, but any clue why my previously downloaded maps are not showing up? Is it because I got a new phone and the app updated?

    Found the same thing on my new phone. But yes, $50 a year is the new subscription price. A little to rich for my blood as I don’t use it often enough. I heard there’s a hummingbird app called one boat I think, but haven’t looked into it.

    If you have a garmin unit you can still view the charts on the active captain app. They are the same maps on your unit.

    Check out One boat network app. I downloaded it a few weeks ago and so far it seems as good or better then navionics.

    the maps on navionics are not good anyway, they show out dated maps.

    I just experienced this new $49.99 subscription charge to renew. I always found Navionics to be barely worth the old fee but I subscribed year after year. $50 is too much for me to renew.

    I use the outdated Navionics map a lot. Even without the new subscription it still is a great source of Info.

    This is what I did and it’s only $25/year. I still have all my navionic downloads/markers and will hold onto those until I inevitably wreck my current phone. I do like the on boat network so far.

    Same happened to me when I got a new phone couple weeks ago. Ended up downloading the One Boat Network app and for half the price of Navionics with higher quality mapping, it’s a no brainer

    There’s about to be a new player as well soon with OnX Fish getting ready to release. From what I’ve seen, this could be a one stop fishing shop, if done right. Lake mapping, GIS data, current satellite imagery, and fish survey data all rolled into one mobile app. Allegedly rolling out in the next few weeks.

    Sweet, I’ve been wondering when OnX would be coming out with something like this!

    Navionics is overrated for me.

    I use the One Boat Network app to look at areas I want to fish when I’m not on the water…then have that app open while out on the water. I’ve got a magnetic phone mount right next to my graph and generally have it up.
