There is no need to return your old chart when updating with Navionics Updates (except Platinum and Navionics+ Small Charts which must still be exchanged)

The 28XG CF card could also be used to activate a 46XG SD/MSD card. For example an expired 28XG UK and Ireland CF card can be used to activate a 46XG Western Europe CF card giving a useable card for each of the two areas. In this process the activating card may activate another card of any chart area or format. At the end of the twelve month period the process may be repeated with the used Updates card being used to activate a new Updates card. The previous card can be retained and used as a spare and the Updates card may be updated as often as required during the twelve months following registration. This card is activated online using any Navionics+ Card or Updates Card (each Navionics+ and Updates card may be used once for this process - the card being used to activate the new Updates card does not have to be the same format or chart area as the new Updates card being activated).

To update your chart and continue with online updates at the end of the twelve month period a Navionics Updates card (blank or pre-loaded with a chart area) can be purchased for around half the price of a Navionics+ card.

The charts can be updated online as often as required during the twelve months following online registration at. TheseВ chart cards include navigation detail as with previous Gold charts and also the option of SonarChartв„ў andВ Community Edits. It would be difficult for them to provide those but hopefully new technology will emerge to add that in the future.Navionics+ pre-loaded chart cards replace Gold charts. Those are a little more difficult to use right now because the true surface level elevations of the lake at the time of the mapping are not provided. This will give you a fairly accurate mapping baseline that you can use for correction purposes.Д«aseline shorlines can be established using the new infrared USGS mapping if its been done for the lake your interested in. While you cannot use your GPS to determined elevation and establish true lake elevation, you can use the surface elevation that was used at the time of the mapping and then use your calibrated sonar (fish finder) to establish the current depths. If it's ever been done it should be there. You can also search the USGS archives for hydrologic data for the lake that your interested in. If you email Navionics, they will give you that information and you can then update the depths and identify any new hazards or fishing spots. In most cases the lake information that you need to update your own maps with corrected depths is the surface elevation that was used at the time the maps were created or last updated. The updates are great if you don't want to do the work yourself but you can do it yourself and save the money. I also watch the USGS maps to see when they are updated and use Map Create 7 to create my own maps. I only renew it if there are updates for the areas that I'm concerned with.

I read the agreement when I bought the chip and understood that the purchase price included one free year of updates. Maybe I'll get an update in another year or two.Дon't get me wrong, it's not the $75. I just think only one year of updates is pretty stingy.ДЄm I the only one this bothers? Is there an alternative to Navionics?Д®ither way, I am fine with the chip the way it is. I can only assume it is because my chip is out of date. So am I to believe that to keep up to date with the maps I must spend $75 a year? Just so I can see the maps for the same area that I always go boating? That said, I went to update the maps for this year and it says my ONE YEAR of 'Freshest Data' has expired, and I can renew for 50% off.or $75! I though $150 was a bit much, but I know what goes into making one of these things and it was worth it to get the level of detail it gives.

It is a great chip and really has lots of detail. I got the Navionics HotMaps chip for my Lowrance. This is not as much of a question but more of a rant.
