3.5 Using Navionics Gold Chart Cards
The chartplotter has a built-in world map that can be used for route
planning. Most areas (these are shown with chart box boundaries) are
covered at a range of approximately 512nm as shown on the Status Bar at
the top of the screen.
To use the chartplotter as a navigation aid, charts with detailed
information for the area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are
available on Navionics Gold Chart cards, each of which can store up to 20
charts in an electronic format.
A Gold Chart card provides an appropriate level of detail for a given
geographic area and scale; this data can be displayed down to a range of
1
/
8
nm on the screen (height) if the data is available.
