INTRODUCTION

The GEONAV is a chart plotter that can be interfaced with a GPS receiver, autopilot and other onboard instruments, and allows displaying the boat’s geographical position with respect to an electronic chart. Thanks to the GEONAV and a NAVIONICS Gold™ electronic chart, you will never get lost even in case of fog, bad weather or dark.

The GEONAV has been designed to allow flush mounting. Equipped with an easy-to-use keyboard, the GEONAV allows controlling the autopilot directly from the plotter (Easy Pilot function) and, thanks to the unlimited capacity of the CompactFlash™ cartridges - that can also be used on PCs as personal hard disks - can store a large amount of route, track and marker data.

The GEONAV is ready for connection with the wind station and echosounder and, thanks to windows enabled automati- cally, able to display the relevant data, if available. The con- nection supports both the NMEA 0183 standard protocol and the Ethernet Connection system, suitable for the network con- nection of multiple stations.

The Route functions will allow you to plan a trip, while, thanks to NAVIONICS Gold™ electronic charts, you will always know exactly the boat’s position. NAVIONICS Gold™ charts are avail- able for all the most popular boating areas, provide a large amount of data - thanks to the object-oriented technology - and can be used in addition to official paper charts to obtain additional information such as the availability of port services, as well as tides and currents data. NAVIONICS Gold™ elec- tronic charts are available worldwide from authorized NAVIONICS dealers.

Should new functions be available in the future, it will be possible to update the GEONAV internal software at any NAVIONICS dealer.

Navionics 10C, 11C manual Introduction

10C, 11C specifications

Navionics is a leading provider of electronic navigational charts and marine mapping solutions, renowned for its innovative products that enhance the boating experience. Among its extensive range of cartographic offerings, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks stand out, providing detailed and user-friendly marine navigation options suitable for both recreational and commercial boaters.

The Navionics 11C chartpack covers a comprehensive range of geographical areas, including parts of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while the 10C chartpack focuses primarily on regions within the Caribbean and parts of Central America. Both chartpacks are designed to enhance safety and navigation efficiency by offering detailed nautical information.

One of the main features of Navionics 11C and 10C is the High-Definition Contour Mapping technology. This feature provides detailed depth contours and high-resolution bathymetric data, allowing boaters to better understand the underwater terrain and identify safe routes. This is crucial in avoiding hazards like shallow areas and submerged objects, thus enhancing overall safety during navigation.

Another standout characteristic is the SonarChart feature, which allows users to create personalized bathymetric maps based on sonar logs. This means that boaters can continuously update their charts using their own data, ensuring that the information remains current and relevant. It’s an essential tool for those who frequently navigate the same waters, as it includes depth shading to show steepness.

Moreover, both chartpacks offer a range of additional data layers, such as navigational aids, anchorages, marinas, and restricted areas. The incorporation of diverse information helps boaters make informed decisions while navigating. The intuitive interface and zoom capabilities facilitate a seamless navigation experience, while the compatibility with various devices, including plotters and mobile tablets, enhances accessibility.

The updates are another vital aspect of the Navionics offerings. Users can benefit from regular updates, which ensure that charts remain accurate with real-time data changes, such as new depths, buoy placements, and other navigational information.

In summary, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks combine advanced technology with user-friendly features, creating a comprehensive resource for safe and efficient marine navigation. The combination of High-Definition Contour Mapping, the innovative SonarChart feature, and rich data layers make them invaluable tools for any boater looking to enhance their maritime adventures.
