Vectors on Navionics

[future_sailor]

Can anyone please tell me if it’s possible to put heading and COG vectors on Navionics on my iPhone or am I asking too much?

It's there somewhere in the settings when j used fo use it. (I use time zero now so dont have it anymore)

Using Routes you can add waypoints and COG. The bearings between waypoints will be indicated. These routes can be shared with others. Play around with this feature.

Aren't vectors used to work out a Course To Steer (CTS) on paper charts, taking into account Tidal Set and Drift, and Leeway?
AFAIK, you would have to work all this out in the traditional manner and then set up a relevant waypoint uptide of your objective. This is what I have been doing with the Navionics on my fairly ancient Raymarine plotter, (but to tell the truth , I really just use it as a back-up to paper navigation, so as to exercise any remaining brain cells?)

On every Raymarine plotter I've used since the C series, the heading and COG vectors (lines) can be turned on or off in the menu system. What I'm asking is whether the same can be done on the Navionics app or is the app just too basic?

Thanks for the budget lesson in chart work. You'd never guess I was an Ocean Yachtmaster but as long as you've had a lovely time tugging yourself off then that's fine.

Really ?

How rude!

Future sailor not likely to get much helpful advice on here with language like that. Totally uncalled for
