I use this to plan trips. It has been down a few weeks due to google maps releasing new APIs that are not compatable with the software they use. Anyone out there know of another plotting website I can use to measure distance and have NOAA overlays?

You can do most of what you need with Navionic's. I use it all the time on my phone in unfamiliar waters.

Well yeah but you have to pay for that or use a really small screen.

It also works on any Android tablet or iPad. Not a small screen IMO.
I suspect you have paid close to $10.00 for a burger when out on your boat, and $15.00 for a plate of shrimp
for your new wife on the same trip. So, $10.00 for an app seems like a no brainer.

I have a plotter on my boat. I like to use marine.geogarage.com when not on my boat to look at the charts and find distance and what not to plan trips. As for the $15 for a plate of shrimp for the new wife you should see the Christmas bill....

I have a strange feeling she got me a Honda EU2000I for Christmas, so she is a keeper if so :)

I bought mine a new SUV. I got a new gps/sonar because I bought it myself. After 43 years ~~~~. If she bought you the Honda 2 things: you will pay for it in the end and if she really liked you she would have bought you a Yamaha. :joyous:

There is a NOAA marine charts overlay for Google Earth & Google Earth has a ruler feature.

Navionics has a web app for viewing their maps online but no planning features. Navionics also sells desktop software for planning routes in addition to their mobile software & downloadable charts.

Activecaptain.com might be useful too, haven't looked at them for awhile.

Not any longer. Received this from Navionics 2 weeks ago...

The Navionics PC App has been discontinued for sale. We have moved our planning tool to a free online viewer available now at WebApp | Navionics. Please visit our website and join us on Facebook for news on additional features and functionality to our online viewer coming soon!

I have their PC app, which came with 5 licenses. Couple of major computer crashes and a new laptop, and I'm down to 2 downloads remaining, which is why I wrote to them. I's a shame. I haven't seen another app as easy to use for basic stuff as that one. It's a bit dorky, but I can easily plot a route and drop it to a SD card for upload to my (non-Garmin) GPS.

Hopefully they're going to make the web app into something usable for plotting.

Let me guess and 6 days later she forgot that you got her a nice new ride and gave you a hard time over the dish you left in the sink...

After 43 years she is used to that type of thing. It gives her something to do between visits from the cleaning lady.
