NEW for 2019. A combined layer

Satellite Overlay, updated and optimized for the coming boating season, offers a top-down view of inland and coastal areas.

SonarChart Shading, created from the high-definition contour data within SonarChart, presents a detailed rendering of the lake bottoms in varying shades of blue. A great way to give you more information on what below the boat, Sonar Chart Shading will you define the details of a particular spot and help you find that sweet spot. Customers who own a Platinum+ or HotMaps Platinum chart with an active subscription can download the combined satellite overlay and SonarChart™ Shading layer for their region via the Chart Installer.

Platinum+ charts provide marine charts, with 1’ contours inshore and nearshore and 3’ and 6’ contours offshore beyond 90’. Includes tides and currents, safety depth contours, navaids, coastal points of interest and port services information. The tried and true counter map for all serious tournament bass anglers. If your not using Platinum + then you are missing out.
