New feature announcement: Navionics HD depth maps

Depth Charts are a staple tool for finding drop offs, shallows and other perfect fish habitats. Knowing the importance of these charts, Fishbrain has teamed up with Navionics to provide the most accurate depth charts available.

Now, Fishbrain Pro members can utilize Navionics HD Bathymetry maps, as a layer on the Fishbrain Map. 

Navionics, from Garmin, is the leading name in sonar and bathymetric depth maps for fresh and saltwater. The impressive high definition bottom contour maps are the perfect resource for finding the best fishing spots at any water level. The maps show accuracy to 0.5 meters and are compatible with all Fishbrain map functions like waypoints and catch locations.

The Benefit

Any time you are on the water, knowing the bottom features, deep holding pools, and shallows where baitfish feed, can be all the difference between fishing and catching. The Fishbrain App’s map and Navionics depth charts keep the guesswork out of your trips by showing your location and the bottom features of every lake, or ocean you’re on.

This tool not only helps real time navigation on the water, but is the perfect scouting tool pre trip. By scouting the bottom structure of the lake you are planning to fish, you save precious hours of navigating back and forth. Instead, combine waypoints with the depth charts to know exactly where you should be at first light of your fishing trip.

Garmin owned, Navionics, fills any holes left by other depth charts with a more robust base of contributors adding sonar based depth maps in more bodies of water.

Navionics is especially helpful with the larger bodies of water like lakes and oceans.

The Navionic HD depth contours are also constantly updated as new data is provided by users. The new data will automatically populate on your maps to reflect the constant change in information and the change in lake and sea bottoms.
