Subscription Charts

AngelNav can be downloaded free and includes a single chart of the UK for evaluation purposes. Most users will want to obtain charts covering the area they sail in, and currently AngelNav offers annual subscriptions for folios of charts covering the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the Atlantic islands derived from data supplied by the UKHO. There are also three folios of charts for the coasts of France and two of the Pacific supplied by SHOM, as well as subscriptions to all the Imray chart folios. The charts are downloaded through the app to the user’s iPhone or iPad. Regular (every three months) updating happens automatically and is included in the subscription charge.

The update process involves making any new chart editions released by the UKHO available to the subscriber as soon as they are available. They are released every quarter and are listed in the news section of the website here. Changes described in Admiralty Notice to Mariners (ANMs) may not be incorporated into the most recent chart, so subscribers are advised to check for the latest ANMs (A convenient link to do this is included in the chart info screen within AngelNav).
