Standout Features for Smarter Navigation

Depth Range Shading: See Your Target Zone Instantly

Customize up to 10 shading layers to highlight depths from shallow flats to deep drop-offs. Anglers love spotting prime reef edges, while cruisers appreciate quick reads on safe passages—adjust it to match your vessel's draft for stress-free voyages.

Ultra-Fine 1-Foot Contours: Reveal Hidden Structures

Forget vague approximations. These charts etch out bottom features with pinpoint 1-foot intervals, uncovering submerged ledges, channels in marshes, and precise marina depths. It's a game-changer for bottom fishing in Hervey Bay or picking the best lines through Sydney Harbour's nooks.

Shallow Water Shading: Dodge the Surprises

Set your own shallow threshold, and watch potential hazards light up in easy-to-spot colors. Essential for low-tide runs along Fraser Island or exploring uncharted coves near Eden.

Bonus Garmin Smarts: Auto-Guidance and More

Integrated Garmin and Navionics forward-planning tech suggests optimal routes around no-go zones, factoring in your boat's specs. Plus, realistic harbor views mimic what you'll see from the helm, building confidence for night approaches or foggy days.

Why Boaters Swear By These Charts

Real-world mariners rave about how these tools transform risky runs into routine sails. Fishermen target wrecks and pinnacles with contour precision, saving hours of trial-and-error sonar sweeps. Weekend warriors dock effortlessly in crowded marinas, while liveaboard explorers chain together multi-day passages from Queensland to New South Wales without a hitch.

Safety first: Tides, currents, and aids-to-navigation are rendered with lifelike clarity, reducing the guesswork that leads to groundings or collisions. Pair it with your chartplotter for overlaid radar and sonar, creating a 360-degree situational awareness bubble.

Seamless Integration for Your Setup

Designed for plug-and-play with popular Garmin chartplotters, this microSD/SD card slips right in, unlocking the full suite instantly. No fuss, no subscriptions—just pure, high-res maritime intelligence ready to overlay your live data feeds.
