Richard Ray informs us :
I noticed after updating to iOS 5 that all my maps downloaded in iNavX were gone. This happened because the iOS update 5 update requires a full restore of the device and the charts are not stored in the iOS backup (because of iCloud). Let me know if you experience any different operation.
To restore any NOAA charts, Select any NOAA region, then select the Recent filter (looks like a clock), then select "Update Maps".
To restore any charts from X-Traverse (Navionics charts, NV-Verlag, Solteknik, aso.) : Select the folio you want, select "Update Map List", select a map and then "Download all".
If you have any problem with your X-Traverse account, Contact support@x-traverse.com
You just have to check that the internet connection is of good quality … An update to iNavX, it goes easily … 200 MB of maps, it's something else …
Ditto. Updated just before departure and more maps at destination opening… Ready to sail, Obviously this is a mistake. Not that installing updates is a mistake, But not foreseeing the consequences and anticipating a need for connectivity is stupid.
Not against, cruising, The problem is not really a problem. Indeed, if an update is scheduled, Internet access is available. In this case, checking and re-uploading your portfolio isn't really a problem.
Same thing for me with iOS5. in addition, As I had just changed my iPad in warranty, I completely lost the first copy of my cards because Inavx didn't recognize my hardware. I was forced to download the second copy.
Bonjour,

I read (link above) than IOS 5 has changed "the way apps store their data" and that "iOS 5 has arrogated to himself the right to purge the 'Cache' folders of authority.’ and 'tmp’ when there is not enough space on the iPad or iPhone. ”
The question is : Are we at risk of losing Grib cards or files, if by chance IOS 5 needs space ?
Sincerely.
Gil
No, Cache and .tmp folders are only temporary files that allow quick access to pages, Open functions, etc,. Maps, just like iBooks documents, Music and video files, etc,. are saved to devices by apps, in subfolders of them. iOS5 will never erase these "personal" files.
Everything lost on the iPad as well.
I only noticed the loss of the cards when I turned on the iPad near Chausey; And I had to wait for the return of the French network to recharge the cards and not spend a fortune with roomming on the English network.
I was able to use the iPhone that had not been updated.
This is one of the weaknesses of the commercial system set up with X-Traverse. To my knowledge, there is no possibility to create a backup of purchased cards without going through the dedicated server. In the middle of the Atlantic, it's not easy. An Ipad + an iPhone as a "spare tire" is of course a solution but Richard Ray should study a solution to protect against this risk.
Encryption with the hardware serial number should prevent the "proliferation" of cards and allow for a true individualized backup.
I think that the upcoming commissioning of iCloud should make it possible to back up the data stored on the devices.
After iOS Update 5, I lost my cards in iNavX.
I recharged them without any problems but it's sure that without ADSL it would have been more annoying.
Hello everyone,
I take advantage of this post to inform you that for the same reasons (Loss of application data after a restore), it is recommended that you update your version of Weather4D before switching to IOS 5. v1.2.1 has been available on the App Store for a few days.
Following a restoration, This version automatically rebuilds the data files associated with the GRIBS.
Sincerely,,

Bonjour,
Exactly, I've always been afraid of losing my cards following an update, and especially following a re-installation of iNavX, and even more at sea.
Indeed, I had a bug with an upgrade when leaving the Canaries, which consumed a lot of battery. Yes I know, it's not clever of me but never having, but never had a problem, I wasn't suspicious.
I got the next version in the West Indies, and no more problems since, but in a deckchair, I hesitated to downgrade my iPhone with the app left in the trash, for I was afraid of losing my charts in the middle of the sea.
More over, Richard Gray didn't know how to answer me about the consequences of a downgrade…
Therefore, there, how does it work with iOS5, Can we get all our cards back? ?
And then if someone has already done a downgrade without wifi to connect, I'd be happy to have a feedback…
Good luck to all, and thank you, Francis, for what you do, even if far from home.
