Navionics electronic charts

[icefisherman]

Got new Lowrance and am looking to buy a new Navionics card for it.....can't decide between the Gold+ and the Platinum card.

Any one used/have seen both?

I'd appreciate all comments and advice.

 

Cheers,

I use the Gold+ Emil. The platinum gives points of interest and some 3D overlays....I don't need nor want that.

I took this off the Navionics site.

 

"The marine Gold+ charts have depth contours, spot soundings, buoy information, obstruction information, show the chart in a paper like view (the water has different shades of coloring), the Xplain feature (which explains different icons on the chart), has major coastal roadways, NavPlanner compatible, enhanced port services & the availability of the free Fish'N Chip (offshore bathymetric information). The marine Platinum charts have the same information as the Gold+ charts but additional advanced "award winning" features such as Coastal Points-Of-Interest, Panoramic Port photos, geo-referenced Coast Pilot Books, top-down satellite photo overlay and 3D view for land & water."

The Navionics HotMaps 2008 Premium cards are on sale right now because the 2009 cards are out. You can save $50 with the 2008 if all your lakes are on it. Here's just one site selling them but if you Google Navionics Hotmaps you will find MANY more.

Ice Fish,

I work for Navionics and if I can answer any questions from anyone on this site let me know. lcarr at navionics dot come. In reply to your question, it depends on a couple of factors:

1) What plotter are you going to use?

2) Where are you fishing?

3) What size kind/size boat?

4) What is your budget?

 

ANswer those questions and we'll go from there.

 

I will also be at the Toronto Show this weekend...stop by if any of you are at the show.
