Memory-Map GB and Ireland Marine Charts - £30

[Mark-1]

I haven't checked this out myself but someone posted this on our club forum:

If correct it doesn't seem too bad a deal.

Has anyone tried MM on an ipad. How does it compare with navionics?

I have the Memory Maps (were £25, half price in January), and loaded on PC, iPad and Android phone.

Primarily got MemoryMap to run Antares detailed charts - and so far only used very briefly in test mode.

I hear lots of people saying "I prefer raster charts" (as MemoryMap are), but personally when using electronic plotters I prefer the seamless nature of the vector charts (like Navionics).

So if just wanting the UK charts on an iPad I would go for Navionics. But if you prefer raster charts and/or want to use Antares excellent add ons then MemoryMap is worth a look.

NB Personally I don't do any fancy stuff on the iPad, as the main ships plotter is an older Raymarine at the binnacle and chart table

Same here, Navionics UK and Ireland £23.99 against £30 so not much difference in price.
If you have both, how do they compare?

Navionics is £39.99 on ipad but has the option to buy Europe charts as an add on.
