Navionics Boating App: Europe - subscription renewal

[Poignard]

This morning I received an email from Navionics telling me that my subscription to the App would expire in 7 days time, and inviting me to renew it; which I did.

I notice the new subscription begins today, and not in 7 days time, when the existing one expires.

A rip-off, albeit a very minor one (7/365 x £29.99 = £0.58) but it annoys me that Navionics does this, unlike anything else I subscribe to where subscriptions run consecutively. Seems very mean-spirited of Navionics.

Harrumph!

Thanks for the head up. Mine expires in about 20 days. I’ll leave it to the last minute now!

Or even a bit longer unless you need the clever subscription-only stuff. My subscription expired several years ago, but the downloaded charts still work fine. I think it would be dishonest to keep it as a main system without a subscription, but as a back-up lurking in a corner of my phone, I'm less particular

Ditto , mine still worked three years after initial sub , although i never really trusted it but never found error , but upon getting a new phone it has lost most of its ( useful ) detail , tho still works perfectly on the old phone !! ( Have not checked the i pad yet ) but will be renewing before serious use again .

I had the 7 day reminder on 1 June this year and renewed. Reading this thread I checked my subscription expiry date and found it has maintained the original 08 June date but one year on, of course.
Strange OP had a problem.

I received an email warning me that the subscription would expire in 7 days time and inviting me to renew. In the email is a "Renew" button.

Pressing that initiated the renewal process.

My account was debited £29.90. Receipt was acknowledged and I was notified that the new subscription would expire in 364 days from the date I renewed ; not from the date of expiry of the existing subscription.

Why have you renewed?
I bought charts several years ago and have never renewed. They don’t update, but hey, is that a problem?

The lack of features when not subscribing is different on plotter charts and those in the Boating app.

Since Garmin let me know that my Navionics coverage would be cut notably down while the price went up, I stopped subscribing for the plotter.
