Navionics

For me, I had already loaded Navionics charts on my iPad, It was a really easy process to transfer them to the SIMRAD unit.

It looks like the Simrad comes with Navonics and Insight charts. Again, I've only played around with it for 10 or 15 minutes but it seems like Insight maybe what I end up staying with.

YT have you ordered the extra C-MAP or Navionics charts yet or are you going to stay with the Insight the unit came with for a while?

Driller I really have no idea. Last night in the 5 or 10 minutes I messed around with it I discovered that Insight and Navionics was on it, but Insight showed the channels and topography and Navionics didn't. So... I figured Navionics had to have something else involved, and of course, I haven't even picked up the Manuel yet, let alone crack it open. And I dont know what a c-map is or where to order it. I was thinking I could get whatever I need thru the innerweb And just download it?
What did you do?

I am going to go ahead and try the ipad/navionics combo and see how it works. I mean, I already own the ipad.. so why not? Then If I do not like it, I will move to a garmin touch screen device.

I don't use it much but the Navionics app on my phone, stuck to the windshield with a RAM mount has been fine the few times I've done it.
