I had presented in May 2015 the excellent raster charts NV Charts by the German Publisher NV Verlag. In 2016, the previous cutting in 4 areas for France - Channel and Atlantic coasts - has been split into 8 areas for 49,90$ apiece. It should be noted that each year a new edition replaces the previous one, there is no update.
Channel – Atlantic
The 8 nouvelles zones, FR1 to FR8, présentent l’inconvénient, dans iNavX, to switch the chart when moving from one area to the other, It is not really easy to create a route or plot a track, Despite the presence of a general small-scale France Atlantique chart.
In addition, dans sa version actuelle (5.0.5), iNavX n’a toujours pas remis en place les boutons [+] and [–] qui permettent de changer d’échelle par sélection des niveaux supérieurs ou inférieurs. A gap that makes this charting for now difficult to use . Le bug a été signalé à plusieurs reprises. It's frankly unfortunate for this excellent workmanship charting.
Mediterranean
In 2017, NV Verlag announced the addition to its Mediterranean charting with 3 new areas covering the coasts of France including Corsica. We can complete with the charts available for Sardinia, Italy, Balearic Islands.
Remarks
Si les versions de 2015 étaient compatibles et utilisables avec iNavX et également GPSNavX et MacENC, ce n’est plus le cas. At time, ces cartes des côtes de France ne sont plus disponibles pour GPSNavX ni MacENC sur le site Fugawi/Charts. Il est probable qu’elles reviennent début 2017 puisqu’elles sont déjà disponibles pour les applications NV Chart app (iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows) and NV Chart Navigator (Windows).
It is also regrettable that these charts are not displayed in "tiles". , as is the case in iNavX for NOAA charts, et dans Weather4D 2.0 for all raster charts available with Geogarage.
