Navionics app keeps crashing - help

[rpaulson7]

I just downloaded the Navionics app onto my HTC Incredible (Android) today. It now keeps crashing after zooming in about four times. Anyone have any suggested fixed?

I did a search on here and someone recommended getting off the wifi, and I did that, but it still happens.

I've seen the app on another Android phone, and it looks sweet. Just want it to work before the next fishing day.

Try downloading the free Astro file manager app and completely delete the Navionics app through Astro, then reinstall Navionics. There was an issue in the previous version (4.3) with zoom and locking up, but have not heard of it in the newest update.

Mr. Paulson, how was your fishing get together? Any luck?

Make sure you have Google Maps Overlay turned off. It freezes my Evo Android phone occasionally.

Caman's advice is spot on. Uninstall the app, and then use Astro File Manager to hunt down the remnant Navionics folder and delete.

Pull the battery on the phone, reboot, WiFi, Plug phone into charger, re-install app, and another reboot for good measure when it's done.

I am having exact same problem with my iphone, i bought mn lakes app and eveyrtime i touch the screen it crashes, any advice?

as ive heard in recent post' about this same topic, whenever you plot a waypoint, its saved on a network. so others would beable to to view you points. as well as the word on these apps crashing or locking up. assuming the fact that you can afford a nice droid phone, purchase the new lowrance endura out and back with the lakemaster chip ($199 for gps and $100 for chip). i just picked one up this weekend and it works like a dream. just my 2 cents to stop the headache

If you have the micro chip in Nav or Lm just install that in your phone, they tell me it should work. If I can find my LM I'll try it, at least maybe I will have a use for it.

First of all yes there is an option to share an "object" within the community so that everyone can see it. It's actually very handy when sharing things such as thin ice or shallow rocky areas, not to mention if you want to share a location of your permanent to your buddy, there ya go, easy peasy.

BUT...the default "favorite" option is only shared locally on your phone.

It's not like you mark a spot and everyone sees it, you have to add an "object" and there is even a warning screen telling you it will be community shared.

Secondly there are a lot of people who are very pleased with the App and it runs pretty much flawlessly for most. I'm sure a lot of people are in the same boat as I was. I already had a smartphone so it was as easy as paying $13 for 5 states worth of maps.

Pretty hard to beat that. In fact I've been so pleased with it that I sold my H20 and LM chip.

To answer the original question, do as mentioned. Delete the App using Astro, then reinstall the latest version using WiFi and don't use any map overlays (they are aware of isolated issues and working on a fix)

You should be good to go.

anytime i have had problems with mine i have just unistalled and re installed. never deleted anything extra. i wouldnt think it would be necessary to delete the map data. plus it took forever to download.
