IMPORTANT: If your chart is older than 5 years, you will need to purchase a new chart in order to receive updates.

NOTE: Not compatible with Garmin chartplotters.

Do you already have a Navionics chart? The NAVIONICS Update charts include Freshest Data updates for 12 months.
Buoys change their position, sandbars shift, rock formations and sunken structures are discovered every day. With a Freshest Data subscription, you won't miss important changes: daily updates.

The following charts are compatible with the Navionics+ chart update:
  • Navionics+
  • Navionics+ Updates
  • Navionics Platinum+
  • HotMaps Platinum

A detailed compatibility list can be found on the Navionics website (external link).

Activating the Navionics+ chart updates

With Navionics+ Updates, you receive a blank Navionics chart specifically designed to refresh your outdated charts. This process is easily done via the Navionics Chart Installer software.

How it works:
  1. Activation: Use a micro SD/SD chart reader (not included) to connect the Navionics+ Updates chart to your computer and download the Navionics Chart Installer software from the Navionics website to activate it with your old, qualified chart.
  2. Chart download: Once your chart subscription is activated, you can download the latest chart updates directly to your new Navionics chart.
  3. Use on the plotter: Transfer the updated chart to your GPS chart plotter to immediately benefit from the detailed and up-to-date navigation data.

Further information can be found on the Navionics support website (external link).

Important note:
Navionics+ Updates charts enable the download of standard chart functions. If you have a Navionics Platinum+™ chart, you can use it to activate a new Navionics+ Updates chart, but the premium functions of Platinum+ (e.g. satellite images, 3D views) cannot be transferred to the new Navionics+ Updates chart.

poor advice at the counter
I had an old nautical chart from 2015. According to the person at the counter, it could be updated with an update card. I pointed out that the SVB website states the old chart must not be older than 5 years. The response was that it didn't matter, they'd never encountered this before, it would still work, and if not, I should call.

I installed the chart installer (very easy, works great), but the result was that the chart was too old and couldn't be updated! The update card wasn't exchangeable, so I bought a new nautical chart. The update with the update card is scheduled for 2026; we'll see, since it was already activated in 2025.

The Navionics chart is great; the in-store advice could be improved; the telephone advice was excellent.
