Unlock Premier Marine Mapping Features
Built on a foundation of integrated Garmin and Navionics data, this chart delivers a seamless, intuitive interface with an updated color palette that makes every detail pop. High-resolution relief shading adds depth perception, using shadows and hues to reveal underwater structures far better than lines alone—perfect for reading lake bottoms or coastal contours at a glance.
- SonarChart HD Bathymetry: Dive into 1-foot (0.5-meter) contour lines that paint a vivid picture of the seafloor, highlighting drop-offs, humps, and weed edges where fish love to hide.
- Shallow Water Shading & Depth Range Tools: Customize shading to flag shallows up to your chosen depth, or spotlight target zones for trolling or jigging—essential for safe passage and hot bites.
- SonarChart Live: As you motor along, watch your sonar data morph into fresh 1-foot HD maps in real-time, uncovering submerged timber, wrecks, or new channels on the fly.
- 3D Perspectives: MarinerEye offers bird's-eye views above the waterline, while FishEye peers below, giving you multidimensional awareness for docking or hunting structure.
Bonus layers elevate your view: Satellite imagery overlays for harbor approaches, aerial photos of marinas and landmarks, side-scan views of hazards on select lakes, and color-coded sonar hardness to pinpoint soft mud from rocky bottoms.
Elevate Your Fishing Game
In the U.S. North's trophy waters, success hinges on details. Highlight user-defined depth bands to zero in on suspended crappie or bottom-hugging perch. Relief shading reveals subtle ledges where bass ambush baitfish, while side-scan and sonar imagery on key lakes expose artificial reefs and historical wrecks turned fish magnets.
"I've pulled limits of smallmouth from spots I'd never have found without the HD contours and Live mapping—it's like the lake reveals its secrets."
Pro tip: Combine fishing range shading with community edits to scout recent hot spots shared by locals, turning intel into ice.
