Navionics Platinum+ Charts for Canada

Navionics Platinum+ charts include all the content of Navionics+ cartography — integrated offshore and inland mapping, lakes, and community-sourced data — then layer on premium features that give you a richer, more intuitive picture of the water beneath and around your vessel. These charts are derived from multiple official, government, and private sources, presented with a familiar look and feel that makes on-water navigation straightforward.

Premium Viewing Options Exclusive to Platinum+

The Platinum+ tier unlocks visual overlays and perspectives that go well beyond standard chart data. These features help you interpret bottom structure, plan approaches to unfamiliar harbours, and maintain situational awareness in complex waterways.

• High-resolution relief shading overlays for an easy-to-interpret view of bottom structure
• Satellite imagery providing a top-down view of inland and coastal areas
• Sonar imagery displaying bottom hardness in contrasting colours (select lakes only)
• 3D perspective view to highlight key features and enhance awareness
• Aerial photos for a better sense of your surroundings

SonarChart HD Bathymetry

SonarChart HD creates innovative 1-foot (0.5 m) resolution bathymetry charts using Navionics proprietary systems. These charts augment existing content with sonar data contributed by the boating community, meaning coverage improves over time as more boaters share their sonar logs. For Canadian waters — from the shallow bays of Georgian Bay to the deep fjords of British Columbia — this level of detail can reveal structure and hazards that traditional charts simply cannot show.

One-Year Subscription & Daily Updates

Every new Navionics Platinum+ purchase includes a one-year subscription to daily updates and advanced features. Once activated, your charts receive up to 5,000 updates daily, ensuring you have the most accurate and current data available. Community Edits from other Navionics Boating app users provide helpful local knowledge — particularly valuable in Canadian waters where conditions can change seasonally due to ice, water level fluctuations, and new construction.

Advanced Features Included with Subscription

Your active subscription unlocks a suite of tools designed to make trip planning and on-water navigation more efficient.

• Dock-to-dock Route Guidance — start your trip with a suggested path (for planning purposes only; does not replace safe navigation operations)
• SonarChart Live Mapping — watch new HD depth maps develop in real-time as your boat moves through the water
• Advanced Map Options — customise your view to focus on the details that matter most
• Plotter Sync — transfer routes and markers, update chart layers, and more between your compatible chartplotter and the Navionics Boating app

Navionics Platinum+ for Canada is available in two regional editions, each priced at CAD $359.95:

However, this product is NOT compatible with Garmin GPS chartplotters — Garmin users should look at Garmin Navionics Vision+ products instead.
