Fishing Navigation Apps: Navionics vs TroutRoutes

Two navigation apps for two different waters — Navionics for boat-based saltwater chartplotting, TroutRoutes for North American stream trout access. Which map fits your fishing?

User Feedback

Pros

  • Industry-standard marine charts with thousands of daily updates worldwide.
  • SonarChart HD bathymetry (1ft/0.5m contours) excels at locating new fishing structure.
  • Charts work fully offline once downloaded.
  • Plotter Sync + SonarChart Live integrate with Garmin and many third-party chartplotters/sounders.

Cons

  • Expensive yearly subscription that has risen sharply under Garmin ownership.
  • Free version is essentially non-functional once the 14-day trial ends (charts lock).
  • Notably low iOS App Store rating, driven by subscription-price complaints.
  • No native catch log, fish-ID, or wearable support — it is a navigation tool, not an angling tracker.
