Trade policy for Navionics charts purchased on the website x - traverse.com has - again - been reviewed in recent weeks, at the same time as the 'My Account' page has changed. These changes are unfortunately not all positive.
The renewal of the charts purchased was proposed for two years at a price of half of the initial purchase price, what had seemed a reasonable offer. This offer is gone for mobile media, and is maintained only for MacENC and applications for PC. This means that users who want to keep their charts updated beyond the first year must renew their chart folder at the initial purchase price. I find this totally counterproductive, as this will encourage many users of this excellent mapping not to renew their files and use them in the State for several years.
[Update 25/08/2014] Changes in the site X-Traverse
New page «» My Charts & Maps. "
It is now confirmed, in the page My Charts & Maps in your personal account (formerly "My Account"), for each chart folder bought a button Renew Now proposes to renew the licence of the current maps folder to be able to continue to perform updates for another year. The offer of 2012/2013 who proposed this renewal half price has disappeared, except for Mac and PC (150 $ instead of 300 $). But for how long again ?
For each map folder, a line indicates if you have enabled the folder on one or two devices, another line indicates the number of days remaining authorizing updates the folder maps.
But that's not all, alas !
Navionics prices continually increasing
Prices for some region (¹) still come to increase : 15% up to 80$ for the 46XG, region 50XG launched at 50$ is today 80$. At this rate, Navionics has aligned its tariffs in 2018 on those charts for Mac/PC and chartplotters !
Some prices have practically doubled in 4 years ago !
I admit that if I had previously struggled to understand the evolution of the commercial policy of Navionics, now I denounces as their sales volume does nothing justify these increases in price for mobile. It is urgent that new players come compete this hegemony of an editor that seems to disregard its customers, while playing the card of the community sharing allowing to enrich its data for cheap.

Hello,
Costs described in the article relate to update maps. But at the end of the year, if you do not pay for the update, we can always keep our cards on iPad ? Elles sont notre propriété ou sont elles en « location » ?
Thank you
Once downloaded all, you use your cards as long as you keep your device. You can not simply update.
See my post Manage maps on site X-Traverse.
Hello,
I wanted to buy Navionics Europe for Android, to 19.99 €, and it no longer exists in the Google Play (Apple Store to Android) : same situation as for the iPhone from what Michael says …
Against the site by Navionics, you can buy the map of Europe … to 60 € ! Sacred increase.
I'll go look iNavX!
Hello,
A little off topic, but just to say that at this time, navionics the European application has just completely disappeared from the Apple. So all of iNavX…
Hello,
I write about iNavX for iPad… I wanted to know why I could not update my Navionics ? It is strictly impossible ! I do not understand ! I need to navigate this weekend if possible… It would begin almost to make me stress !
Thank you
I managed to solve my problem (So I no longer need help at the moment about this) and I'm ready to sail ! Navionics my work very well on my iNavX !
Happy surfing to all !
Hello,
I understand for the duration of updates.
Mais pouvez vous préciser le « périmètre » de la licence des cartes navionics pour iDevices ?
One or two devices simultaneously ? Can your change devices (i.e. : buying a new iphone) ?
Thank you for this clarification
The explanations are in this article.

Why we read everywhere that there is no goto navionics on when you can just simply stick a pin on the boat and the other on the waypoint for continuously track and distance knowing that the !
Thank you again

Actually, I stupidly thought it was for Current Charts cards currents…
Everything is clear now and I could install the cards without worries.
Thank you again.
The confusion is understandable : les anglais disent « tidal streams » et les américains « current » (is française) to discuss common.
Hello
And first of all thank you for your site, that appears inescapable that quickly focuses on iNavX Ipad.
I bought yesterday at the site X-Traverse the map 43XG (Mediterranean and Black Sea) but strangely, dans la liste des produits disponibles qui apparait dans la fenêtre « ajouter plus de cartes » XNavX (updated version), I do not have the ability to add my card. I only see the map 23XG, which is no longer sold on site X-Traverse…, so I can not download my product.
I left a message to support X-Traverse, but no answer yet…
Thank you for your help.
Dans le dossier « Gold Marine Charts Current » vous trouvez la 43XG. La 23XG est encore dans le dossier « Gold Marine Charts 2010 » pour les acquéreurs avant 2011. It is longer in service.
I just saw my card iNavX disappear on my iphone, I must conclude that he must go through the purchase of new box ?
Not at all. It is in the folio de cartes Disparu, it may be that as a result of improper handling. Do not panic, just download the maps again, as for an update. Reread my article on this.
