Dock-to-dock Autorouting Navionics Dock-to-dock Autorouting, a unique breakthrough in boating navigation, quickly creates detailed routes from a real start point to a real end point, even through narrow passages and channels where they’re needed most, using sophisticated algorithms. This unprecedented innovation requires only simple user input, whereby boaters choose a starting point and destination, to calculate a detailed route that takes into consideration chart data, navigation aids, water depth and more. See video. SonarChart Live SonarChart™ Live allows users to create new personal 1 ft/0.5 m HD bathymetry maps that display in real time on a plotter screen. In addition, sonar logs can be automatically uploaded to Navionics to improve SonarChart™, the award-winning 1 ft/0.5 m HD bathymetry map that reflects ever-changing conditions. Updated SonarChart can be downloaded by Navionics customers to their Navionics card and Boating mobile app daily. See video.
