Navionics Nav Planner 2

[bigmac1984]

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.

Seems like a lot of money to simply look at the $200 chip you've already purchased.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
