The orientation of your your position can be changed from Heading Up to Course Up using the Crosshairs icon in the upper right of the iPhone scree of the Heads up icon on the bottom of the iPad display. <br /><br />You can record your track, that will give you a line of where you have been and point you in the direction you are going. <br /><br />The Bluechart mobile app has many limitation. I would suggest using Navionics or SEAiq. <br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613501123640472129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494275143619870656.post-48670345154092785412017-08-03T18:36:32.871-05:002017-08-03T18:36:32.871-05:00Is it possible to activate a pointer line to indic...Is it possible to activate a pointer line to indicate the direction of the vessel.<br /><br />Thank you<br />Jean-Claudetangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10905225599323380725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494275143619870656.post-47527171856008974622017-04-28T20:51:09.688-05:002017-04-28T20:51:09.688-05:00William,

Do you know if that should work or does Garmin require an iPad purchase and an iPhone purchase? I used the "Feedback" link in the app three days ago to ask Garmin but haven't received a response yet.<br /><br />Regarding some previous comments about import/export with Bluechart Mobile, I have created a route in HomePort and opened it in Bluechart Mobile and vice-versa using email as the transfer method. Maybe that capability had been added after the comments were made.Tom Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15068674951551466384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494275143619870656.post-58038898916046914392017-02-16T18:44:03.853-06:002017-02-16T18:44:03.853-06:00Stuart,

This will take you to a menu to edit the name and symbol of your waypoint.<br /><br />You just noticed one of the major drawbacks of this app. It has no "navigate to" feature like many other apps. It allows you to view maps, create waypoints and routes but it does not give you directions, course or heading to those points. If you turn on Record Track you can see your track as you head toward your waypoint. <br /><br />It is considered more of a planning app than a navigation app. Garmin wants you to buy one of their $1000 chatplotters instead.<br /><br />The Navionics app allow you to create Markers and then Boat To that Marker. I would try that app if your looking for more navigation features. <br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613501123640472129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494275143619870656.post-86089021275167858742017-02-14T08:53:03.054-06:002017-02-14T08:53:03.054-06:00 How do I go to a waypoint?

The only way I figured it was to create a waypoint where I am build a route between where I am at the waypoint I want to go to and when I get there race the way point where I was is there a shorter easier way to do it?

The Garmin app lacks the functionality that you are looking for. You can view waypoints, edit them in the app and export them using email, Facebook, Twitter or to a Quatix watch. None of these are importable to the Garmin app.<br /><br />Garmin is in the business to sell chart plotters so the app is not going to be developed beyond what you have today. I would dump the Garmin app and go to something like iNavX or SEAiq that allow portability of waypoints, routes and tracks with Open In capability. Open In allows you to export and then open the waypoint in a many other apps.<br /><br />Navionics also allows you to save all your data to your Navionics account to use across your devices.<br /><br />Hope this helps.

The Garmin Bluechart Mobile app has limited functionality when it come to waypoints, track and routes. They are a Chartplotter manufacturer and would prefer you to buy one of those with all the functionality. I don't see them developing the app with much more functionality than it has now. I have been frustrated by the lack of tools in the app that is why it is not rated very high in my list of Best Marine charting apps.<br /><br />The Navionics Boating app has Markers which can be save in 8 different categories, Wrecks, buoys, beacons, lights, port/marinas and anchorages. Try this app if need that functionality.

I do use the app but only have several hundred waypoints entered in my app. The only drawback with the Garmin app is that is does not allow you to navigate to a waypoint. I only displays your position relative to your route or waypoint. iNavX will actually navigate you to the waypoint showing bearing, distance, time and cross track error. <br /><br />MarkMarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613501123640472129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494275143619870656.post-47544617240114516862014-11-18T03:34:30.928-06:002014-11-18T03:34:30.928-06:00Hi I am after the information of how many waypoint...Hi I am after the information of how many waypoints can be put in this app to mark spots.
