Or if it's errors in their charts, contact them to let them know. They have been responsive to me in the past and corrected errors I found on their charts.
I think most electronic depth maps fail to show shallow water accurately and Navionics is bad at that. I figure the boat doing the sonar survey isnt going into risky water and that the "shallows" are calculated from shore, 0 ft, to the first real sonar depth. Lakemaster maps on Humminbird are much better than Navionics but still are not going to have super accurate near shore readings in very shallow water.
