Have only just figured out how to transfer routes and trials/waypoints from the Navionics maps to the MFD on my set up.Free C-MAP Charts Included with Purchase of Select Lowrance, Simrad or B&G Fishfinder/Chartplotter Displays I just tried to find the same area to see if I could replicate it not realising you are in Australia! ? I like it for mucking about on the iPad but tend to turn it off when out on the rib They have relief shading now on Navionics which of course is the same mapping as G3. The quality is low because these are just photos taken with my phone and not screen shots. These are from the 105 echomap in the small rib, my other boat is set up a little different in regards to plotter detail. This is very handy as I work on different small vessels targeting shellfish and I can take my own detailed seafloor surveyed charts on any boat with just the phone. I can use my phone checking out underwater structures and plotting trips from the comfort of my lounge and then just upload them to my headhunts or use the phone or iPad as a stand alone plotter on any vessel I go on. Then there's the vision seafloor charts which I can not only have on both of my head units but also on my phone for just one fee. I can also plot courses where I tell the unit to avoid certain depths etc or alternatively colour certain depths with any of the 15 pallet options which comes in ever handy for targeting different species of fish that hold at different depths. With g3 I can simply touch the screen and it will navigate to where Ive touched and avoid any hazards along that passage. The difference with platinum for my area was that it had less detail and less options for plotting courses. What the difference between Platinum + and G3? Got both currently prefer Navionics using Platinum + and the iOS app
Pretty sure Garmin don’t own CMap that is Navico (lowrance, Simrad, B&G) Which is the simpler, more intuitive to use? Anything that will help me make a choice, and hopefully get the one thats best suited to me. I would be really grateful for any pros and cons of each or personal experience, particularlyif you've tried both.
I only need South Devon for the time being so if there's a map that covers that area, it will be a bonus if it also covers a wider area.Īs far as I can make out, my choices are Navionics and Cmap. The guy who fitted it told me it only has a base map?Īnyhow, it looks like I need to buy an SD card with a map on it.
I never intend to lose sight of land so close inshore waters only. (I have a place on a RYA Powerboat level 2 this summer). My principle reason for including a chartplotter was to help with depths, (planning journeys), and basic navigation which I am beginning to read up on. I bought it as a fish finder and chartplotter. I've got a Lowrance Hook reveal 7, which I had fitted today. Im a complete beginner when it comes to chartplotters fishfinders.
