Navionics is certainly the best-known name among recreational captains. Navionics supplies the digital nautical charts for a large number of plotter manufacturers. So it made sense to create an app for the two operating systems "iOS" from Apple and "Android" from Google, a navigation programme of its own for all areas of recreational navigation.
The German manual for "Navionics Boating" app, illustrated with over 400 colour screenshots, describes in detail all functions on iPad, iPhone or many Android devices.
With "Navionics Boating" you are choosing one of the best GPS navigation programmes for recreational boating. Navionics Boating is one of the easiest and most innovative apps of its kind to use. The German manual for the "Navionics Boating" app is the only manual in German and the ideal companion for anyone who wants to get to know and master all the functions.
All functions and their operation are described accurately and carefully in the manual. It is not a translation from English, but an independent work from skipper practice. Every function and every control element is not only described, but also illustrated on colour screen shots.
Since the display and operation on tablet and SmartPhone sometimes differ significantly, the details are explained for both devices side by side. This way you can learn how to operate any function in no time at all, regardless of which device you use. Of course, it is also an excellent reference if you want to refresh your knowledge after a longer break or need to change settings that are only changed very rarely.
Thanks to the practical spiral binding in A5 landscape format, you can fold it over completely and place it on the table even when space is tight and have both hands free to operate the app. A particular advantage of the spiral binding is also that the risk of the pages being turned undesirably by wind, for example, is reduced to an absolute minimum.

Der Autor H.-Michael Saar kommt aus dem IT-Bereich und hat früh seine Leidenschaft für den Wassersport zu seinem Beruf gemacht. Über 24 Jahre hat er mit seiner ISY GmbH Segler auf der ganzen Welt mit elektronischen Seekartensystemen bedient und betreut. 2007 hat er sich mit der ECDIS-Zertifizierung qualifiziert auf ausrüstungspflichtigen Seeschiffen Navigationssysteme zu installieren und betreuen zu dürfen. Seine Segelscheine (bis hinauf zum SSS) hat er bereits in den 90er Jahren gemacht.
Zunehmend sind Sportschiffer heute mit Navigations-Apps auf dem Tablet unterwegs und müssen sich mühsam, meist ohne eine qualifizierte Anleitung, durch komplexe Anwendungen quälen. Das hat H.-Michael Saar erkannt und bringt seine Jahrzehnte lange Erfahrung in das Schreiben von Handbüchern ein – natürlich auf Deutsch. Dafür hat er 2019 den Saar-Verlag gegründet in dem er Handbücher für die erfolgreichsten Navigations-Apps anbietet.
