“Marine navigation is a crucial part of any boat trip, whether down the lake or across the ocean,” said Shaun Steingold, CEO, NavX Studios. “We respect that navigators have their own preferences for the tools they use to the charts they prefer, which is why we are the first app to give users a choice.
