Navionics Navigation Introduction and Tutorial

[@sirnaznaz7609]

How to download maps for offline used?

[@SavvySalt]

That's a great question! I actually have a video for how I get offline charts for a passage: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6Dci6uCa5hphM0

[@stevepitbull]

As a complete novice this is the only video I have found that was helpful. Thanks,for posting it.

[@lugnut4961]

Why does everyone think they have to have music in the background? Very distracting while trying to listen to narrative.

[@keithjohnston5936]

And the choice of sound can only appeal to children. I expected to see Barney appear any minute.

[@siamsummer9426]

Is the chart supposed to move as I travel ?? Mine does not so eventually the red boat arrow disappears from the screen ?? Am I doing something wrong ?? cheers HAYDEN

[@SavvySalt]

I have noticed it is a bit tricky. The button in the bottom left that looks like the arrow starts the app tracking your position. If you touch nothing else the app will track you as you travel. But if you touch anything else the app stops that tracking your travel. Even clicking the screen to keep it from going to sleep often stops the tracking for me. Zooming, swiping, menus or anything else also seems to stop the tracking. I find it tough to keep the app scrolling with me as well; it's not the best user experience.

[@siamsummer9426]

Yes greta so its not only me :-))) Correct - Also if I change the map settings - NORTH UP - COURSE UP etc .... as soon as I touch the screen that also goes back to default. I will try the red arrow next trip to see if the map follows me - CHEERS

Selamat siang, mohon petunjuk ya, navionick saya untuk satellite imagrey ga bisa terbaca hanya sebagai,mohon petunjuk cara ya supaya punya saya terbuka,terima kasih

[@mpeltz1534]

How do you start following a route once you have created it. I have created a route and when I try to follow it, my boat keeps moving out of the screen map range and I have to keep re-centering it? This can’t be the way this works?!

[@debschack9277]

Not unnoticed, nice touch choosing Hell Gate given the history there.

[@ErdemUyanuk]

Hello, While cruising, place names are lined up according to the north direction, that is, when head up or course up is selected, it is difficult to read the place names because they are still aligned according to the north. How do I align the place names according to my cruising direction? Is there a way to align the place names with the direction I'm cruising? (Using iPhone app). Thanks.

[@knowledgemoon7708]

Informative video, can you please advise the procedure to connect the Furono F 150 UAIS to tablet of AIS feed.

[@catherinecroberts]

Hi. We are underway headed to Alaska using Navionics Boating app. Our home port is Anacortes. We are now in Canadian waters. Since we are here in Canadian waters, when I hit the boat icon to show where I am starting out from, it always shows Anacortes and not our present location. I am using an iPad with WIFI. I am connecting to GPS with my iPad with a Garmin Glo. BTW, the Navionics app is working fine on my iphone. Any thoughts?

[@bryan_garrick_little]

Thanks for this . It was super helpful

[@jayasankarsasidharan4520]

If i have to add more coordinates by manually how to do? Thank You

[@Rastameister]

while i found your video helpful it you explain how, if at all, that navionics calculates the best times to depart base on predicted tides. Or on route when to hold position for more favourable tidal flow times. Is any of what i said possible in navionics?

[@Rastameister]

sorry, didn't explain

[@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh123]

@@Rastameister I'm a novice playing around with the free version and I was wondering this too, but doesnt seem it helps with that

[@kxkayser]

Hi. Great video. One question: How do I add something to my "Favorites"? For example, a marina or anchorage? Thanks.

[@SavvySalt]

When you click on the "?" next to the cursor the menu it brings up includes a "marker" - It's basically a location on the chart and you can give it a name and an icon. That's the closest I could find to a "favorites"

[@tonypurkiss6022]

Hi, is it possible to show your course over the ground? I am unable to find CIG anywhere on the app? Hope you can assist me.

[@SavvySalt]

If you start a track from the main screen it adds "Time", "Speed" and "Distance" to the top of the app. If you click on Speed it brings up detailed view which includes COG. Hope that helps!

[@kennethchafey2551]

I don't understand. What screen are you looking at? Can I download this onto a tablet, pc or laptop? Do I have to use the software in conjunction with a chartplotter? Getting started must mean you download this onto something?

[@ralphe9668]

Thank you for the video it was very helpful

[@johnbrewster7283]

when setting my sail race course I can not end at teh same pin I started from WHY??

[@MayooN]

Once i pressed start, how do constantly view the depth ?

[@rifleman1873]

Thank you so much...This answered my questions and got me started on the right way...I can practice in Sarasota because we are not cold...Sorry just had to add that (:

[@rabigh3mscl294]

How to add way points plotted on chart, like we enter in gps?

[@gregnuttall3637]

Just got our navionics and was wondering how it works. Thanks

[@Madeveira-Spritz]

First thank you for this great introduction. Quick question, for distance measurements when zoomin beyond 0.1Nm, it turns into feet measures. Anyway to make it in metrics ?

[@SavvySalt]

You can navigate to "Menu > Settings > Units" and set your distance measurement to km. Then smaller distances are shown in meters. But I can't find a way to show longer distances in nautical miles and shorter distances in meters. If you find a way let me know!

[@Madeveira-Spritz]

@@SavvySalt thanks a lot for the trick. At least being in Km give the small distance in meter and then go back in Nm for longer distance. And I check as proposed and there is nonwayto be in Nm and short distance being metric. It always go to feet. Still thanks a lot it was a good trick. Maybe navionics should add the option of feetbor metric when being in small distance keeping the Nm

[@cliffordruguna6820]

Great tutorial for beginners 👍

[@JohanGrooters]

I'm very happy whit the Navionics App but there's one thing I would like to know.... I've got an small boat and I only have NKE speed/depth sensors, GPS and 2 B&G Triton 1 screens. If I choose a track I would like to see on my B&G triton the cours to go, I cant get it done but is it possible? My Ipad whit Navionics is connected to the NMEA network whit the YDWG wifi . Who can help me out?

[@_GHP]

Do you know how to find reefs on the app

[@thomasknowles2235]

What do the lines represent? They are not depth lines.... thanks!

[@andrewgervais3039]

Can you sync this app to VHF radio with DSC to press mayday button and transmit coordinates to nearby boats? Thanks

[@NaturesSlimTeas]

where can i find what the differnt icons are for the boating position icon in the far bottom left had corner of the screen? i have spent 1 and a half hours looking for anything just on that one icon and cant find it in your help. thanks

[@TERRIBLYBRITISH]

Nice video thank you. Can you or any one else tell me please, does the app work out a course to steer taking the tides into consideration?

[@SavvySalt]

It does not. You can look up the current set and drift in some places. But it won't do the trigonometry for you.

[@TERRIBLYBRITISH]

@@SavvySaltcool thank you for answering

[@ronharris711]

how can you change the measurements on the app, depth distance from meters to ft.

[@hntgnut]

I just purchased a new Navionics+ card, I still am not showing Restricted Areas, Buoys or Fish Spots. I don't know whats up with my Raymarine E7D Touchscreen. anybody out there know anything about this E7D Unit? Its like nothing has changed from my old card.

[@erikbender1]

is there a compass ?

[@lowelld1]

I thought the App works like my on road gps, but the map doesn’t move with me and I Have to keep moving the map. Is there a setting to make this automatic

[@SavvySalt]

If you click on the button in the bottom left that looks like a cursor it will center on your position. Until you click something else it will keep your position centered. Though I have noticed it doesn't seem to work if you switch out of the app or turn off the screen; I'm not 100% on the rules.

[@thedutchfisherman7078]

How does the payment work? Do you pay only once for it and can you use it forever or is it a yearly returning payment?

[@SavvySalt]

You pay every year. For the regions I recall you pay one higher price the first year and a lower price if you renew subsequent years. But I have definitely not bought them all and several regions I've bought I've never renewed.

[@siddbharwal3766]

howx to buy chart for pratice

[@m-stylehaynes3447]

Question. Can this work without cellula internet data and wifi?

[@SavvySalt]

Absolutely. As long as you download the charts to your phone's local storage beforehand. When you first install the app it prompts you to select charts to download. You can download additional chart data at "Menu" > "Download Map"

[@m-stylehaynes3447]

Thanks brother i'm getting it right now. You've been a great help

[@chasemixon6327]

how can it track you without cellular or wifi?

[@ChrisHarmon1]

Chase Mixon GPS is free and every smart phone since 2010 has it. Most have a compass built in as well which runs off magnetic north and since GPS is in space above our heads we can rest assured it will always have a reliable connection.

[@chasemixon6327]

@@ChrisHarmon1 Thanks Chris!

[@NortheastFloridaPWC]

Is there a way to set the chart to "North Up" regardless of your direction of travel?

[@SavvySalt]

Yes. You tap the toggle arrow in the lower left hand corner until it gives you the correct orientation.

[@松田もしくろす]

Looks interesting. Most apps I have seen only use US waters. Are maps/charts available for Japanese waters?

[@SavvySalt]

When I zoom in on Japan it says I can buy detailed charts for Japan and China sea for $21.99. You can always confirm for yourself via the free version.

How do i keep the boat curser on the screen at all times. When i am using navionics app the boat goes off screen and i have to scroll to catch up with it. Thank you.

[@SavvySalt]

[@timwright4676]

Thank you for this.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

What is the difference between the Navionics Chart and Sonar Chart and why do they show different depths/contour lines for the same area?

[@SavvySalt]

Sonar charts are crowdsourced charts compiled by Navionics. Navionics charts are compiled from professional marine surveys. www.navionics.com/usa/charts/features/sonarchart

[@ek9772]

I have heard that some boats have been written off due to lack of information regarding incorrect reef depth on some islands.

[@SavvySalt]

Detailed surveys are not always available. Belize is one such location: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZouziI2fepaAebM

Great app, pity the charts is so expensive.

[@SavvySalt]

Interesting. Which region are you talking about? In comparison with another navigation app? I've always found Navionics to be competitive price wise; in the areas I've sailed anyway.

[@Deontjie]

@@SavvySalt Seeing that I am from South Africa I must buy either one of two charts. One is Africa and Asia ans something similar. But it is not explained very well. Seeing that we live in a country with the most corrupt politicians our currency has devalued so much that the ±$45 cost is more than R600 in our money. Which is a lot o the average African.

[@SavvySalt]

@@Deontjie those are the most expensive chart regions I've ever seen in Navionics. And no free "government charts" option like they have in some areas. Are you on iPhone or the "HD" version of the Boating app because, at least in the past, those charts were more expensive

[@Deontjie]

@@SavvySalt Android.... I only need a chart for the south and west coast of South Africa. Not all the way to the South China Sea. Maybe I can scan my paper chart into a .pdf?

[@SavvySalt]

@@Deontjie actually I have a video for how to do that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noa3i59jrr50qbs It's not Navionics. And definitely only a way to get supplemental navigation information. But it was really useful in Thailand alongside Navionics and the charter boat's chartplotter.

[@25kocyk]

Which tablet did you buy ? I bought galaxy tab 4 for the same purpose and it works just fine.

[@warjacare]

Navionics uses vector layers, with too much information, messing and scrambling the nautical chart. Raster electronic charts are not as sofisticated but much clearer for the seaman. Don't use Navionics!

[@alainpeignet4628]

Vos informations son certainement très bien mais malheureusement en langue Anglaise !

[@Madeveira-Spritz]

C'est pour cela qu'apprendre l'anglais est une bonne chose. Surtout pour la navigation, il y a beaucoup plus de sujets qui sont couverts en anglais. Et avoir la possibilités de regarder les comptes français et anglais vous donne l'opportunité d'apprendre et maîtrisé beaucoup plus. En tout cas c'est mon expérience. Cordialement
