Tip #2: How to edit the map on your Boating App!

 
The Community Edits layer in the Navionics Boating App offers a great benefit to all boaters. It is continually enhanced by millions of app users with valuable local information such as seasonal buoys, lights, rocks, moorings, boat ramps and points of interest like restaurants and provisioning shops!  
 
By turning the Community Edits layer “ON” in Menu>Settings, you can see all the contributions when you zoom in on the map. If you want to add, edit and delete chart objects, you will first need to register with Navionics as a safeguard to prevent against any misuse of the feature. 
To edit the map, use the cross hair to target the spot where you wish to add an object and tap on “?”. Select “Edit Map” in the page that opens and choose the appropriate category and subcategory in from the available options. Fill in the fields: a check box is offered where you can choose to add your object on your GPS position, or on the spot you tapped, then select “Add”.  
 
To edit, move or delete an object, use the cross hair to target it and tap on “?”; select it from the list in the page that opens. Choose “Edit” to change information regarding the object, select “Delete” to cancel it, “Move” to relocate it directly on the map using the tools provided, and “Report Abuse” to signal a misuse of the tool. Inputs from the community can even be seen on compatible plotters! Start accessing this amazing resource today!
