Navionics Platinum. If you are from Bellevile Ontario Canada then it will be Hotmap Platinum Canada

You can view the current maps on the Navionics website's Chart Viewer.

All current map cards are microSD and come with a SD adapter.

Finger Lakes being in upstate NY you then need the Navionics+ Canada-US and yes the card comes in a SD format with a MSD in it.

Question.When i have two Mapping cards in the display, Navionics and Standard mapping chart, and i switch from one to the other, does the Navionics card continue to record the sonar chart live, even though it may not be seen and active on the screen.
thanks

If under Overlay the sonarchart live is choose the answer is yes. You can also split your screen with 1 page with Navionics and the other page with your other card

Is there a PC Software for HotMaps? Looking to share waypoints and markers for planning on PC to viewing on lowrance and back at the end of trip.

[wallyandre]

From Navico: Insight Planner; you can use youre Navionics card with it.
I know you can download the software online but I didn't find the link. This a link to buy the software on a DVD

Anyone having issues with new LIVE units not recognizing/ reading platinum cards. I bought a new platinum south card from Navionics and my HDS 12 LIVE is not displaying the data or recognizing the card

I have a couple HDS gen 2 touch units. A 9 and 8 and want the most detailed charting. I travel several times a year to fish. Do I have to buy several different Hotmaps Platinum cards or is there one product that has the same detail I can purchase that covers the US and Canada. Specifically Lake of The Woods and Rainey Lake all the way to Falcon.

Thank you but I don’t understand why the Navionics plus large is the same price but covers much more territory as the Hotmaps platinum if the detail is the same. Are you getting the same detail?

Additional features beyond the map details.

The Hotmaps Platinum has Satellite Overlay, 3D function, Port Photos and Community Edits. All that additional stuff takes up memory space.

Both the Hotmap Platinum and Navionics+ products have Nautical Charts (Navionics maps) and Sonar Charts ( user sonar log generated maps).
Bottom line is the map details are identical if updated the same day.
