The limitations of the PC on a boat are well known, but Navionics Platinum offers all the features that boaters need to know - from charts, to cruising guides, to photographic images and more - all integrated and georeferenced on a single plug & play cartridge.

Key features of Navionics Platinum begin with the same coverage and content of Navionics Gold XL3 cartridges.

Added to this are satellite photography, panoramic port photographs, 3D bathymetric presentation, coastal piloting text guide, wrecks database, coastal road networks, and thousands of enhanced port services reference information.

According to Navionics, Platinum is the result of over two years of collaborative R&D efforts, utilising the best data sources, the most efficient manufacturing locations and many sea trials to perfect and prove the concept.

They claim there is nothing else close to the content and quality in the industry.

Navionics Platinum charts will be available in leading manufacturers' plotters beginning in the summer of 2005 and more will follow. Coverage areas will include US/Canada, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
