Our old charts were the Navionics Gold charts which have always provided us with an adequate level of information wherever we have cruised. This time however we have decided to go for the new all singing all dancing Navionics Platinum Plus charts which include many extra features including aerial views of harbours, terrain overlays, live updates amongst many other new and exciting features.
Perhaps the best feature we have though is access to a Navionics account so that we can plan our routes from the comfort of home, download them onto the memory card and then put the card into the plotter and hey presto the information is there to hand.
Time to start playing with the new software and see just how good it really is. We will have plenty of time to do this though as we are not going anywhere with Naughty-Cal this year that will require us to plot a course!
