Navionics still needs work

I know I am beating a dead horse here but still a little disappointed in this app. I like that it works but we are missing some great options. My friend has the Iphone 4 and we got it the same day. He gets pinch to zoom and a google earth over lay. Me nothing like that. I hope they up date this soon since I paid the same amount for it and it feels like a stripped down version of this app.
 
.[FONT=&quot]Why not open google maps in satellite mode works for me......I don't have a chart plotter on my boat just a gps and paper charts so find the Navioncs UK charts tidal data and tidal streams brilliant value at 18 beer tokens [/FONT]...:rolleyes:

I would like to see a goto function that gives you a course to steer as the only bearing shown is the actual heading the boat is on.....small gripe, still great value though.

I just got the app and am pleased to so far for the price. Using a Droid X. I saw an earlier post that there were problems of the app not fully shutting down and draining the battery on some phones. My battery seems to go faster since I loaded Navionics. Should I be killing a process or something after using it?

I know that this app is great on i devices but I haven't taken the plunge for my Nexus One. Several reasons which I'll list. - Dev isn't very engaged with the customer - Will not fit on my N1 and there is no interest in making the app SD capable - Seems Android is a second class citizen for dev If they'd just make it apps 2 SD capable I'd probably go for it, but too many strikes against it now.
