bigmac1984 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi, I was thinking about buying the Navionics Nav Planner 2 to view my GPS chips on the computer. I believe it is around $150. Anyone have this? Is it worth the money? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Seems like a lot of money to simply look at the $200 chip you've already purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Never tried it but wouldn't a $15 card reader do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Never tried it but wouldn't a $15 card reader do it. Nope, a normal card reader won't read a Navionics SD card, they're encrypted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Get the new PC app through their website. $29.99 and its the same as the newest iPhone app. WELL worth the money. Go here and click the "Web Store" link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmac1984 Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Thanks Stoty.... I'm assuming its 29.99 per map? for example, inland lakes would be 29.00 and great lakes would be anothr $29.00? Can you mark points and transfer them to your GPS somehow, or mark routes etc? or is this viewing only to help search a lake before getting out there?

Nipfisher Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 Stoty, What about this option? Free to current plug-n-play chart owners, exit screen, connect Navionics plug-n-play card to your computer via a card reader, restart the Web Store and enter the Plotter section. I tried it but it says "sorry we could not recognise your card". I tried calling the U.S. customer support but it is not open on weekends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmac, This is the note on the site after download but before paying. Note: PC app is not an update to your plotter chip. GPS is NOT available. Routes or Markers cannot transfer to apps or plotter at present. PC App license is exclusive to one PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers all of canada (ontario, quebec, alberta, bc, etc). I got the hotmaps Canada one. You can mark points and routes, but you'll have to manually add them to your GPS unit for right now. They haven't come out with a way to transfer them as of yet. Just simply jot down the Co-ords and add them into your unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 This is JUST for your PC. It's not an upgrade or anything for your GPS unit. This is a planning tool that you can utilize that has 1ft depth contours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ld17 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 I just bought the nav 2 and installed it. If you want to view your chips on a big screen and plan your fishing trips I would recommend it. It's another tool to help you catch more fish. I wast enough money one lures and stuff. Seems a bit expensive at first but you will have it forever. You can also print off a portion of the map and look at it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
