Navionics had been the leader in digital cartography since 1984, when the first electronic charts were released. Since those early days, advances in technology have allowed their charts to go from being simple 2-D line images to maps with realistic 3-D topography and many other advanced features. In 2009, Navionics took maps to a new level with the introduction of its iPhone navigation app, Navionics Mobile, that won the 2009 Innovation Award at MAATS (Marine Accessory Aftermarket Trade Show).

Navionics marine charts are compatible with leading marine electronic plotters. They have become an important navigation tool, providing coastline profiles and key information for safe navigation, including water depths, obstructions and real-time display of a boat’s current position.
