The Embark app uses C-Maps marine charts. Charts are updated monthly and can be used with an Internet connection for free or purchased for offline use with an in app purchase. Charts are not yet available for worldwide coverage but most continents are covered. Charts are purchased from a list of 70 regions with the app. Purchases are only good for one year subscription.

There is a 14 day free trial of the offline charts, weather and tide information. Chart prices range from $25.99 to $65.99 dollars depending on the region you purchase. Maps colors can be adjusted for depth contours and night versions for ease of viewing.

I would give it a miss. I paid and spent 2 weeks trying to download the charts with only partial success. In use it’s and extremely power hungry app and the carts are crap. Who shows lights without details? The navigation function is garbage, the charts don’t have lat long grid overlay and things like TSS are almost invisible.
For context I sailed Falmouth to Valencia direct so 1600nm to form my opinion. My recommendation would be Imray Navigator which is not vector but is very usable.
