Press release
SonarCharts™ exposes incredible seabed detail not available on existing cartography. Using its proprietary process developed over many years, Navionics integrates hydrographic office data with its own survey data and sonar logs received from the Navionics Community to reveal maximum chart detail. Online updates to the SonarCharts™ are available daily allowing for timely bathymetric charts that reflect ever-changing conditions.
All Navionics users can become explorers! Virtually anyone with a sonar device can plumb the marine depths to discover any kind of relief, hidden gorges, detailed mountains, canyons, or submerged structures never before mapped! Sonar logs uploaded online through navionics.com are processed and new data is reflected in a revised SonarCharts™ layer.
All users benefit from the contributions of the rapidly growing Navionics Community comprised of tens of thousands of individuals that submit many hundreds of thousands of edits per year. SonarCharts™ empowers boaters and anglers with incredibly detailed charts they can continue to build and use to discover the ocean’s sea beds, venture into creeks and channels, target the most productive fishing areas, explore new diving areas, and study lake details. Continuously enriched content, a unique feature in charting, is updated daily.
SonarCharts™ is now available for GPS plotters on Platinum+, HotMaps Platinum, Navionics+, and with Navionics Updates for all Gold and HotMaps Premium customers. SonarCharts™ covers America, Europe, Africa and Australia. Sonar logs uploading feature is live throughout the entire United States and parts of Europe, and is under progressive
