Public service announcement- some of you Navionics users are familiar with the new SonarChart Shading layer that they rolled out earlier this year. They have now updated it to cover farther offshore and to be more detailed. If you're interested, this article that showed up in my newsfeed today...

With most of my experience in cruising larger sailboats (>30 feet) we always had a "go bag" ready in case of an emergency. What do you have in your go bag on a smaller vessel?

I've been sailing in everything from a sunfish to a 44' catamaran for a lot of years using the Navionics app. Last weekend when I went out I updated my app and my charts (I was headed out to a different part of the Florida coast than I was used to) and there is a new look to the charts! There...

When my husband and I were on our first cruising expedition through the Bahamas and Caribbean for a year we cut our travels short (a little). Why? Because we felt like we were not giving back. We were living selfishly and not giving back to the community and humanity as a whole. That's why...

As sailors I think there are not many of us that are made for sitting inside and waiting things out. What is everyone doing to stay on top of their skills/ plans/ adventures while we're stuck at home?

I found the North Pole on Navionics! and apparently there is a rod shop there! Also, did ya'll know how many lakes, bays, coves, islands and cays have the name Christmas?! It became apparent when using the search feature in my Navionics app:

I discovered Exxpedition, an all-female research expedition to investigate the causes of and solutions to ocean plastic pollution. What an amazing experience for young women (or any women) around the world...

A friend of mine recently ran aground and did some serious damage to his boat (thankfully nobody was injured) due to allegedly inaccurate charts. However, when we dug into it, turns out my friend had not updated his navigation charts or the navigation app. Personally I use Navionics app on my...

Anyone tried plotter sync with their app? you should be able to see your routes etc from your app also on your plotter

Did ya'll see the AIS is available through the Navionics app now?! AIS in the Navionics Boating App This is a feature that was historically only available to pretty high end equipment. I could definitely see this being a huge help in low vis areas. Has anyone tried this yet?

Has anyone heard if Navionics plans to facilitate re-charting of the areas impacted by the hurricanes this year like they did after Hurricane Michael? (for reference: Important Coastline Updates to Areas in the Florida Panhandle Post-Hurricane Michael )

Snagged this beauty while out sailing and collecting some sonarchart data for Navionics charts!

Has anyone sailed on Lake Texoma. I was prepping to go out, updated my charts and found that they looked really different. Seems Navionics added SonarChart Shading. What's your sailing experience been like on Texoma? And what about these updated charts?

Remember the horrible hurricane season 2 years ago that ravaged the southeast? Irma and Michael both left a wake of destruction and changes to our waterways. The Navionics cartography team has remapped many of the most devastated areas: - Laguna Beach near Panama City - West coast of St...

Sonarchart Shading makes it really easy to see the contours on the charts. A pretty neat thing and there is a sale on charts this month: Save $30 USD on Platinum+ and HotMaps Platinum in May

Where is the best place to sail in the summer? In S. Florida it's hot, muggy and not much wind (except during a storm). I see some beautiful spots on the Navionics charts in the Carolinas, Maine, and other northern locations. What's your favorite summertime sailing spot?

It was a beautiful Memorial Day week in Tampa (after the rain finally stopped). Where else did people get out on the water Memorial Day and start of June? Let's see some pics.

What's your favorite picture with your kids boating, swimming, etc?
