Navonics

[sprint61]

Does the $10 app offer any more features then the free one on the Internet and the free trial you get?

[Wayne P.]

The Navionics website's Web App does not have any settings, just zoom and distance measuring.

 

The Mobile App has adjustable water level, adjustable depth highlighting, adjustable shallow water highlighting, adjustable depth shading, waypoint creation, tracking, and zoom.

 

With a WiFi sonar transducer, it can create contour mapping for Sonar Charts.

Vexilar Sonarphone, Raymarine WiFish,  Lowrance GoFree

 

The free trial is the same as the $9.99 Mobile App.

I have the Mobile App on 5 devices.

[Neil McCauley]

It's worth it.

So I got it. Would I set the water level to 0 if my lake is at summer pool go get accurate contour line depths? Can you enter coordintes and it make like a mark at the spot? One last question can you fix it so it will show where your at one the lake with like a cursor representing your location? Like on a gps unit.

[Wayne P.]

You don't need to adjust the water level unless your sonar does't match the map contours plus the transducer depth.

 

I don't use the app for GPS data so I have never done waypoints. I have four sonar/GPS units that do that.

 

You have to turn on the GPS function on your device so it shows where you are on the map.

Didn't think about seeing if my units depth matched the maps depth thanks for the help Wayne.

well worth the 10.00 and do the upgrades for 1.99   

[Wayne P.]

Those "waypoints" show up on everyone's app as Community Edits.

 

There are nine of those in this screen shot from my phone:

 

 

 

There is another one on this lake that has a note "Pig hang out" and has a fish icon.

Yes you can add lat Lon to mark spots.

where are yall finding this app for free $10 i only see free or $50

[Wayne P.]

 There are several levels of maps. Some have a free trial period. Check the App Store for iOS and Play Store for Android.

The BOATING app is the $10 one.

 

BOATING HD is the $50 level.

 

BOATING US and Canada is $15.

 

Other parts of the world have their versions at several prices.

 

There used to be one called USA.

 

I've got several versions.

I bought the USA version for my Android and upgraded the features for fishing.  I love it for research on a lake.

is there much difference in the BOATING HD $50 and the BOATING US and CANADA $15?

Not for my use. They do the same.

 

I have the BoatingHD on my iPad.  Boating, BoatingHD, and USA on my Android devices.

 

I use them for map demos and Sonar Charts Live.

 

For actual mapping with sonar, I do it with my Humminbird sonar/GPS units.

How can I get these cordinates to work on navonics?

GPS coordinates have nothing to do with mapping of any brand. They are a function of your GPS system.

GPS is not mapping and mapping is not GPS.

 

Northing and Westing are not common nautical GPS co-ordinates. Those are UTM format

 

Most systems use one of these: 

 

DD.DDDD

DD MM SS

DD MM.MMM

 

Use this converter to get the format you have your GPS set to:

If you can do EXCEL, you can do it all at one this way:

You can enter cordinates into navoincs I have on my tablet and it took me straight to brushpiles on a different lake, but the cordinates wasbt in decimal form like the ones I listed. My unit doesn't have gps just di that's why I needed it.
