Raymarine navigation chip

Garcia · 07-14-2019, 07:45 AM

I bought the Navionics chip. It’s very detailed and makes the Raymarine much more useful. I also downloaded the owners manual and am slowly figuring out what the device can do. I’m very comfortable navigating the lake without electronics (Bizet chart is essential!) but do like it. So far, the most useful feature is to plot a course from my dock to my destination and follow the course home - very nice to have when I’ve left home in the evening and returned after dark.

A Raymarine came with our newest boat but we did have to order the chip for the lake. We are very happy with it.

Navionics is owned by Garmin now so I am thinking you should be able to get their charts for a Garmin unit. I love the Raymarine Dragonfly 7 I have with the Navionics chart. Check out their website you can look at all their charts online and even plot out courses if you want.
