    Create your own maps

    SonarChart Live is a feature available on plotters and mobile. Watch new 1 ft/0.5 m personal HD bathymetry maps develop in real time as your boat moves along the water! It appears as an additional layer over your map while it also gets stored on your device for future use.

    On your plotter

    Now more boaters using compatible models from Raymarine, Lowrance, Simrad and B&G can experience Navionics award-winning SonarChart™ Live. Watch this video of this feature running onboard a boat and check out some exciting fishing action here!

    Map the uncharted!

    Want better charts? Go boating!

    Depth data gathered during SonarChart Live, can also be shared with Navionics to enhance SonarChart for all boaters.Navionics accepts sonar logs recorded with the vast majority of sonar/plotter brands and mobile devices.

    See evidence of your survey

    SonarChart Live is an excellent way to anticipate the improvements your survey will bring to the SonarChart because you can see new contours as they develop. The data you gather is checked and added along with other sonar logs and Navionics data. New sonar log data normally takes about a week to be integrated, but may sometimes take longer based on data process variables. Check the processing status of your sonar logs.

    How to: Raymarine

    To activate SonarChart Live on your Raymarine, first turn sonar logs on: Go to Menu>Presentation>Depths & Contours>Sonar logs ON. Then, go to Advanced Map Options to adjust SonarChart Live transparency and turn Tidal Corrections on if boating in tidal areas.

    How to: Lowrance, Simrad and B&G

    Go to Menu>Overlays. By clicking on SonarChart Live Options you can adjust Transparency and set Minimum Depth.

    How to: Mobile

    Close any apps that may have used the compatible device’s Wi-Fi. Connect your mobile to the Wi-Fi of the device, then open the Navionics Boating app. A new map is created instantly on-screen as you move across the water. Adjust color and transparency with Menu>Map Options>SonarChart Live Settings. In case your logs don’t appear on the process status page, close the app and reopen it.
