Navionics sonarcharts full#
Navionics+ features include a full navigation window offering everything you would expect for following a route, the ability to create and store sonar logs with compatible instruments, and autorouting. Bear in mind that without Navionics+ you can create markers and routes but there is no way to activate or follow a route. All gps, and basic sonar work fine from all three hds units in the boat.
Navionics sonarcharts update#
After that an annual subscription (£22.99 per year) must be paid to maintain Navionics+ features and download updates to charts. 0 software update released 3/10/08 or the Platinum Navionics chart will not work. When first purchased, each region of charts includes Navionics+ for the first year. Welcome to the Raymarine Forum JP, Should one be using a Navionics+ Chart Card which SonarCharts have been added to or should one be using a Platinum+ Chart Card, then the command sequence MENU->FISHING CHART will cause the Navionics SonarCharts to be displayed within the Chart application. You can customise the look: it is a one-touch operation to swap between the normal view and Sonar Charts view, there are various shading options for depth contours, and Easy View mode enlarges key navigational features so they remain visible even when the chart is zoomed out. Tidal height bars do the same but also depths on the chart beneath will increase and decrease with the changes in tide. Arrows will animate if interrogated and played forward through time. The app includes tidal data displayed as current arrows and tide bars. The basic functionality of the Navionics app is refined and good: scrolling and zooming are quick and receptive on iOS devices, although I found Android to be slower.
