The Navionics Boating app offers a rich set of invaluable features, allowing you to easily customize the map to fit your needs!

Open the app and go to Menu > Map Options:

• Turn Easy View ON to magnify icons and text

• If you’re in an area where water fluctuates due to droughts or floods, adjust the Water Level setting to alter contours and spot soundings accordingly

• Use Depth Shading to highlight depths up to a select value

• If you selected the SonarChart™ layer, SonarChart™ Density allows you to customize the amount of 1ft/0.5 m contour detail you want to see.
