Ok not exactly. If you respond to their renewal notice, beware. I renewed first of June for a card expiring the 15th. New card arrived with expiration of June 1, 2021. I paid for a year last year but lost two weeks. Pretty sorry situation. 39 mins on hold. Then 23 more to learn there’s nothing they’re going to do about it. Not much money I’m out. Two weeks here, two weeks there...lots of money they scam from lots of customers.

Re: Navionics Scam
You lost a few bucks... consider yourself lucky some have lost their boats because of Craponics.

Re: Navionics Scam
Robert, I agree with you.....
Sort of like killing you with kindness and doing business with the corpse.
PRESS RELEASE

Re: Navionics Scam
They all do that. Sea tow sent me a renewal 45 days out. Im sure it would have started over the day I paid them. Going to wait until it expires before I renew. NRA used to do the same thing. Others scam you with auto renew.

Re: Navionics Scam
They forgot where they left their boats?
Do tell. I've been using it for many years with very few complaints... or lost boats. It still rivals information I get on dedicated chartplotters, even the latest, greatest Garmin touchscreens.
As far as this falling into the category of a scam, that's a bit of a stretch. The only feature I would categorize as possibly falling into the scam category is them advertising the merits of their auto-routing feature. It is severely limited where the ICW or rivers are concerned as it requires more waypoint data than the system will allow. Yes, you can route a trip in legs ahead of time, but it's still lacking. All that said, it's an unbeatable value.Randy Register - Kingston, TN
