On top of the superior clarity, superb detail and seamless technology available with Navionics Classic charts, Navionics Gold provides a new feature and color rich presentation with the familiar appearance of a paper chart. Light sectors for leading lights and lighthouses are shown in full color, as are the real-world shapes and colors of buoys and other navigational aids.

Additionally, boaters have the ability to select the color of bathymetric contours to help identify shallow port entrances or areas too deep to anchor. For example, a contour could show all safe water in white and all areas to be avoided in blue, just like a paper chart.

Further, Navionics Gold Charts exhibit powerful new proprietary features and user benefits. Xplain, a plain-language description feature, deciphers cryptic navigational symbols into plain language everyone can understand. For example, a light on a paper chart may be described as R FL R 4S. The Xplain feature, for this same light, provides a popup window that explains: Red lateral buoy having a red flashing light with a period of 4 seconds. Xplain is available for every object on the chart.

The IC Intelligent Clarity feature automatically filters the on-screen presentation at every zoom level to provide a clear, uncluttered display of all essential navigational data. Set apart from competitors, Navionics achieves the IC feature through a painstaking process of removing unwanted display clutter on every chart, at every zoom level. No other electronic chart manufacturer does this.

Unique methods, coupled with extended object oriented and fully seamless technologies result in nautical charts of incomparable definition and clarity.Available in three coverage sizes, XL3 (Three XL charts in one!) XL and Small, Navionics charts cater to the needs of coastal navigators and local boaters respectively. Features include detailed tide and current data, port plans and port service guides. Navionics charts also provide the wonderful simplicity of plug & play functionality - just insert the Navionics cartridge into the plotter, and go - with no necessary programming, downloading, or configuration.
