I am trying to download iSailor charts to my iPad but cannot get any response from their chart store. Is it my problem or their’s?

I think they have gone belly up.
I cannot see how to copy charts from an old device to a new one. Very annoying as I had got used to the plotter and found it good.

Yes it looks to be the case. I sent support an email which was rejected. It seems like they’ve closed down the iSailor business - they no longer have a presence on Facebook. The owners Wartsila are still there however.
Shame it was a good app and I much preferred it to Navionics. Hey ho.

I have been pointed to Aquamap. Certainly worth considering.

Chart store is accessible for me now.
Must have been a glitch.

Thst is in testing. Having emailed the iSailor people and had no response, I emailed the Wartsila head office over the weekend. No reply but, yes, maybe there was a glitch. I am still a little cautious.

From what I've read online responding is not one of their strong suits. I did the same - nothing yet.
Edit: Someone online intimated that Wartsila had palmed iSailor off to someone else who hasn't done anything with it. No verification of this anywhere.

I have written to them 2 0r 3 times pointing out some nonsence approaching Dartmouth. A great pity because it really so easy to use.

Some months ago as I recall there had been issues with I-sailor going off line. Response from Wartsila was that at the start of the Ukraine war they had moved their operation out of St Petersburg where many electronic cartographers are/were based.
They moved I think to Croatia but while all this was going on some 5th columist in their ranks brought everything to a grind halt. Was subject of a thread - if not here then on Cruisers' Forum or Cruising Anarchy. I'll see if I can find it.
