Designed for Garmin chartplotters, it blends seamless Garmin integration with renowned Navionics expertise, delivering crystal-clear visuals and intelligent tools tailored for challenging Pacific Northwest and Alaskan waters. Whether you're chasing salmon in deep fjords, dodging rocks in narrow passages, or anchoring in hidden coves, these charts empower safer, smarter boating.
Exceptional Coverage Tailored to Your Region
Unlock intricate details of coastal edges, inland lakes, rivers, and straits from British Columbia's west coast to Alaska's farthest reaches. Spot submerged reefs near Haida Gwaii, navigate the Inside Passage's twists, or scout fishing grounds off Ketchikan—all rendered with high-definition accuracy. This mapping excels in areas prone to shifting sands, strong currents, and dramatic tides, giving you an edge over traditional paper charts.
Core Features That Elevate Your Boating Experience
Streamlined Interface with Customizable Layers
Toggle between vibrant color palettes, overlay sonar data, or highlight hazards effortlessly. The intuitive design reduces clutter on your screen, letting you focus on the horizon while plotting multi-leg trips across the Gulf Islands or up Lynn Canal.
Daily Updates via ActiveCaptain App
Stay ahead of changes like new buoys, dredged channels, or temporary restrictions. Sync your device with the app for fresh data pulled from global boating reports, ensuring your maps reflect real-time conditions in dynamic areas like the Strait of Georgia.
Auto Guidance+ for Effortless Path Planning
Input your boat's draft and height, and get suggested routes avoiding shallows and overhead obstacles. Perfect for threading through the San Juan Islands or approaching Alaskan harbors, it combines proven algorithms for reliable dock-to-dock guidance—always verify with local knowledge and visual checks.
Advanced Depth and Shading Tools
- Depth Range Shading: Choose from 10 color options to pinpoint prime depths for lingcod or halibut.
- 1-Foot Contours: Reveal subtle bottom changes in marinas, rivers, and bays for precise anchoring.
- Shallow Water Highlighting: Customize alerts for user-set depths, crucial for tide-swinging Alaska coasts.
Premium Vision+ Enhancements for Superior Situational Awareness
Bathymetric Relief Shading
Experience the seafloor in stunning 3D-like relief, where shadows and colors reveal drop-offs and humps better than lines alone. Ideal for spotting structure-rich areas off the Queen Charlotte Islands.
Satellite Imagery and Aerial Photos
Overlay high-res photos of coastlines, docks, and landmarks for a bird's-eye reality check. Enter unfamiliar Alaskan ports with confidence, seeing ramps, bridges, and breakwaters as they truly appear.
Immersive 3D Views
FishEye: Dive underwater virtually to preview contours and sonar overlays.
MarinerEye: Rise above for a panoramic blend of terrain and bathymetry, simulating your approach to coastal villages.
Dynamic Adjustments
Tweak lake levels for fluctuating reservoirs or integrate community tips on anchorages and ramps from fellow boaters who've tested the waters.
