Whether you are a yachtsman, angler or sailor, you understand the importance of having the right tools. Navionics Boating, a smartphone app with up-to-date maps and features, makes boating easier and more fun. If you are not convinced, you can test it for free for a limited period of time. Here are five qualities that make Navionics Boating an indispensable companion for water sports enthusiasts. Navionics charts are reliable. The Boating app has downloadable Navionics charts and a variety of overlays that allow you to see above and below the water. The application also includes a sea map.
But that’s not all. The app also provides SonarChartTM HD bathymetric charts, including 1 foot (0.5 meter) HD bottom contour information. And whether you’re sailing in the US, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean or Brazil, you’ll have access to US government (NOAA) charts. Navionics Boating has a large community. Using Community Edits and the ActiveCaptain® Community, you can learn from and share local experiences with thousands of boaters. You can also find local attractions, navigation aids and expert advice. But that’s not all.
Navionics Boating has additional features for chartplotters. Plotter Sync allows you to transfer routes and markers between the chartplotter and the app, as well as activate, renew, or renew your Navionics chartplotter membership. If you connect to a suitable sonar/plotter, you can use SonarChart Live Mapping to generate real-time maps while navigating. To view nearby maritime traffic, select a safe range, and receive visual and audible collision alerts, you can connect a suitable AIS receiver to Wi-Fi.
