The recent update that was released by
Navionics is relevant for ALL charts!
The new update includes improved satellite overlay
and all-new SonarChart Shading. Navionics has
combined these two features into one single chart
layer- offering you the best view on one GPS screen.
When you purchase a freshest data subscription, it
allows you to update your Navionics chart as many
times as you like for ONE year. Updates do not
only include awesome features like the SonarChart
shading, but ALSO updated contour detail and
community edits. Basically your chart becomes

What You Can Do…
The new update allows you to clearly see channels,
drop-offs and other structures over a wide area
for a better understanding of the seafloor. And
you can search the map for visual cues to identify
fish-holding structure on inland lakes and coastal
fisheries.
If you have purchased your Navionics chart within
the last 12 months, you will still have a freshest data
subscription and that means that you can receive
this update for free! If your chart is over one year old,
your freshest data subscription has unfortunately
expired and you will need to purchase a new one
directly from the Navionics website. See link below:
