• Month (£ 11.99)
• Season (3 months for £ 32.99)
• Year (£ 45.99)
The subscription ends after credit expires. Subscriptions are not automatically renewed.
If you purchase a subscription during the free 7-day trial period, we will add your new credit to your remaining balance.
Payment methods for subscription:

Even more boating pleasure with a Waterkaarten account: you can create an account in the app to activate your subscription on a total of 3 devices.
Note:
• The file size of the offline map material is very large and you are advised to download it on a stable Wi-Fi connection
• Prolonged use of GPS in the background can considerably shorten the battery life of your device

De upgrade is niet fijn. Van 4 sterren naar 3 mogelijk 2. De icoontjes zijn zeer klein en op de phone haast niet terug te vinden. Het is haast gevaarlijk omdat je tijdens het varen veel te lang met het zoeken naar info op je telefoon bezig moet zijn. Het zou fijn zijn als je die qua grootte in kunt stellen. Nog steeds verschillen tussen Windows en Android versie. Ook nog steeds geen goede info over doorvaarthoogte in getijde water. Er zijn betere apps, maar die bestrijken een kleiner gebied.
