Almost all maps are licensed (not free of charge) from the National Hydrographic Institutes.

Each area of the world (if included in our coverage) has been included in paid subscriptions.

A 14-day free trial is available for each subscription.

Aqua Map uses a two-subscription model, so you can choose exactly what you need.

• Chart subscriptions give you access to specific nautical charts (for example, US Nautical & Lakes Charts or Italy Nautical Charts).

• Advanced Tools subscriptions (Aqua Map Master or Expert) unlock Advanced Tools and Local Data (such as USACE surveys and navigational data for the US & Canada, Denmark, France, and Western Australia), but do not include nautical charts.

If you want to use both the nautical charts and the advanced tools, you’ll need to keep two active subscriptions:

• one for nautical charts

• one for the advanced tools

This flexible model lets you customize Aqua Map based on how and where you navigate.

Before you begin, ensure that you have purchased a subscription for the specific area you are interested in.

• Tap the button located at the bottom left of the screen. This action will open a grid displaying selectable tiles.
• Choose the specific map tiles you wish to download by tapping on them. Selected areas will be highlighted in blue.
• Once you have made your selections, press the button located at the middle bottom of the screen, labeled "Start." This action will commence the download process, and as tiles are successfully downloaded, they will turn green.
• After completing the download, you can zoom in to access and view detailed charts of the downloaded areas.

Advanced tools is the repository for all our Pro Features and Local Data. There are currently two subscription options available:

• Expert - Pro features $14.99
• Master - Pro features + Local data $24.99 (Currently available only in US and Canada)

Prices may slightly vary depending on currency/location.
