Great news from Navionics!

Big news in the Canadian fishing world!! Navionics is now in the process of updating the Canadian map chips with SonarCharts.Looks like we are finally going to get some quality map coverage for Canadian waters
Navionics has released SonarCharts in Canada as of this week, you can log sonar upload them to Navionics they will then update the Mapping, if you have a Hotmaps Platinum or Nav + chip you can then download this new data via Freshest Data to your chip. If you buy a new chip listed above it comes with a one year free subscription to Freshest Data, if you have an older chip listed above you can but Freshest data for a year for 50% of MSRP.
Navionics just launched SonarCharts for Canada. This is the static layer which means now all the lakes that we currently have are now available in one foot contours on the fish n chip layer. the dynamic launch will be end of this month. That is where your sonar logs update those lakes with new data, corrected data, or create mapping on new lakes. All of this is free with purchase of Navionics Platinum charts or Nav+ or Nav Update. Just be sure to register the chart and then update to see the changes. Send in as many as you want so that all can have better mapping. No need to single sound a lake (unless you want to) have friends help and bang it out in no time, then all update their charts and get the new contours. This is also able to be viewed on our mobile app under the Nav+ in app purchase. Canada isn't ready yet on mobile but should be soon as well. Pretty soon, the whole world.

What effect will this have for navionics on my cell phone?
I purchased it a month ago for 14.99$.

No news on that but if you got a chip that is eligible for updates and you are a Lowrance user you're chip will add all the logs that the HB & Garmin users are uploading.

this all sounds great if only I could get get my navionics + card to load anything at all!! Navionics tech help have not responded to my e-mails in over a week, tried on three different computers and no luck at all. Begining to think I made a big mistake on buying this new chip.

Cabodirt: If you are using outlook express for you browser, try google chrome instead. I was having trouble loading updates at home until I tried that, then all was good.
