Users have the possibility to publish their favorite places, see other users places and send messages to other users.
Other users of NaviPad will be displayed on the map with speed, course and location information.
To use these "social" functions an account has to be created. The account is created in NaviPad.

Latest reviews of NaviPad Free app for iPhone and iPad
Bad User interface, all interesting features not accessible. Pass away.
I use this app all the time when I am on my boat. I loaded it up with raster charts and it works GREAT!
Every few seconds an ad pops up and forces you to wait 10 seconds before you can see the screen again. This is in addition to the banner ad at the top that is constantly taking up part of screen.
Just happy to read my collection of raster charts (Kap files) on iPad. Seems like only app that will do that hence the high score. Difficult to plan and look around, no quilting, no tools to make easy routes etc. Opens one chart at a time. As I said its just nice to have the raster charts, awkward as it is. Also wish information bubbles could be removed that other people put.
The app just crashes when i tap its icon
