SonarChart™ Live
SonarChart™ Live allows you to create new personal 1 ft/0.5 m HD bathymetry maps that develop in real time while navigating. The feature can be displayed directly on the screen of compatible plotters, or on a mobile device within the Navionics Boating app when used with a sonar.
Make sure the software is updated to the latest version.
- Additional requirements are a Navionics+, Navionics Updates, Platinum+ or HotMaps Platinum card that has an active chart updates subscription and has been updated after April 2016. Learn about all updating options here.
