Statement on Recent Outage

Garmin, the parent company of Navionics, was the victim of a cyber attack that encrypted some of Garmin’s systems on July 23, 2020. As a result, many of Garmin’s online services were interrupted, including website functions, customer support, customer facing applications, and company communications. Garmin immediately began to assess the nature of the attack and started remediation.

We have no indication that any Navionics customer data was accessed, lost, or stolen. Additionally, the functionality of Navionics products was not affected, other than the ability to access online services. Affected systems are being restored, and we expect to return to normal operation over the next few days. As our affected systems are restored, we expect some delays as the backlog of information is being processed. We are grateful for our customers’ patience and understanding during this incident and look forward to continuing to provide the exceptional customer service and support that has been our hallmark and tradition.
