You can now access high-resolution Relief Shading through your Navionics Platinum+ charts, working in conjunction with SonarChart to bring bottom detail to life.

Relief Shading is created from multibeam surveys and high-definition data to show intricate bottom detail of channels, offshore shelves, artificial reefs, wrecks and sandbars, so you can understand your surroundings at a glance and easily identify fish-holding structure.

With Platinum+, you can now also access updated SonarChart Shading – an overlay which combines satellite imagery with detailed renderings of bottom structure, based on SonarChart 1-foot bathymetry data.

Relief Shading is included with your active Navionics subscription, along with all existing Navionics features like Community Edits and Dock-to-dock Auto-Routing.

You can access it by downloading Relief Shading to your Platinum+ map.

Please note: Navionics+ and Platinum+ Chart cards cannot be used with Garmin devices. Garmin hardware owners may purchase Bluechart g3 and Bluechart g3 Vision, which include Navionics data. Further details here.
