About WaterNav North West
WaterNav North West is the definitive guide and map for the waterways of the North West of England for boaters, ramblers and cyclists.
ONLY SUITABLE FOR COMPATIBLE ANDROID DEVICES: requires Android 2.3.6 or later (PLEASE NOTE that current version may not be compatible with devices running Android 8); also at least 11.8 Mb of AVAILABLE internal (RAM) memory plus an additional minimum 1.3 GigaBytes of either internal memory or on external SD card. Please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
WaterNav apps operate 'off-line' and contain considerable amounts of valuable data, so PLEASE make sure your device is compliant before trying to download. DO NOT try to download using 3G; download requires a wifi connection since once installed and on opening, the app will then download the maps which can take up to 30 minutes.
WaterNav apps provide an enormous amount of really useful, easy to access, information and make use of Smartphone GPS to show everything relative to where you are. The maps display thousands of continually updated points of interest (such as pubs, shops, vets, diesel, moorings, etc), as well as all the waterway information such as locks, bridges, turning points, etc. These are the essential towpath companions for boaters, ramblers, cyclists or anyone else enjoying the waterways.
WaterNav apps consist of regional Apps, covering the whole of Great Britain. An essential feature of the Apps is that they are off-line, so thereís no interruption due to the poor Internet connection on the canals!

Really useful on a boat to know exactly where you are, and where facilities, mooring, shopping etc are. However, it would be better if there were one app with map upgrades for each region (in-app purchase?). Works on old and new devices, but manual scrolling only good on new/faster ones.

Cluttered map, unable to plan routes, distance is only as crow flies, more of a novelty really.

Downloaded app hoping it would give concise mapping details of canals that I will be visiting but it is in effect a open street map with overlays so map redraw time is slow also found no way entering two place names (marina's) that had been there for the last 3-4 years, so for myself not worth the money.

I have tried and tried to get a response to get the interim update for Android 4.4 but to no avail. It was good when I could use it but know just a waste of space.

Currently using the app as a walking / cycling aid. Have so far only tried the app out a couple of times whilst out for a walk along some of the lock flights along the Leeds & Liverpool canal. Panning of the Maps can be slow and my freeze when the zoom scale is above 100mtrs - may be due to the large amount of map data its trying to handle, trick on 200mtr scale seems to be - move your finger slowly and let the map update. When zoomed in to the 100 / 20mtr ranges the screen scrolls ok. POI data useful ( Only tested the Pub / Cafe icons so far ! ). Hope to try it out more when the weather warms.
