Discover Seamless Navigation Across Eastern Canada and the Great Lakes

Whether you're cruising the vast expanses of the Great Lakes, navigating the intricate waterways of the St. Lawrence River, or exploring the rugged coastlines of the Maritime Provinces, reliable mapping is your best ally on the water. This Garmin Navionics+ cartography delivers pinpoint accuracy with a fresh, intuitive design that blends Garmin's robust marine tech with Navionics' renowned detail. Vibrant shading and layered views help you spot safe passages, prime fishing grounds, and hidden gems effortlessly.

Boaters rave about how the high-definition contours—down to 1-foot intervals—reveal underwater structures that generic charts miss. Imagine threading through narrow channels near the Grand Banks or anchoring in a secluded bay off Nova Scotia; these maps turn uncertainty into confidence.

Key Features That Elevate Your Boating Experience

• Layered Chart Customization: Toggle between coastal overviews, inland lake details, and satellite overlays to match your adventure—perfect for switching from open-water sailing to river runs.
• Shallow Water and Depth Shading: Set custom shallow-water highlights and choose from up to 10 shaded depth ranges. This visual cue system prevents groundings and pinpoints where fish might school.
• Community-Driven Insights: Tap into real boater feedback via the ActiveCaptain network for the latest on marinas, hazards, and local hotspots, keeping your intel as fresh as today's weather.
• Ultra-Fine Contours: 1-foot bathymetry offers crystal-clear bottom profiles, ideal for anglers targeting structure or sailors dodging shallows in harbors and swamps.

Auto Guidance+: Your Virtual First Mate

Picture this: You're at the helm, plotting a route from a Toronto marina across Lake Ontario to the Thousand Islands. Auto Guidance+ crunches your boat's draft, overhead clearance, and popular paths to suggest a safe, efficient dock-to-dock itinerary. It factors in channels, no-go zones, and even marina slips, saving hours of manual plotting.

While it's a powerhouse for trip planning, always cross-check with your eyes and instruments—it's a tool to enhance, not replace, your skippering skills. Pair it with NOAA raster charts (downloadable through the app) for that classic paper-chart nostalgia with digital precision.

Stay Ahead with Effortless Updates

Waterways evolve—new buoys, dredging, or hazards pop up daily. Your included subscription unlocks a stream of enhancements through the ActiveCaptain app, ensuring your chartplotter reflects the latest intel without missing a beat. Renewing keeps the updates flowing, plus unlocks expanded content for long-term explorers.

For multi-device setups, sync seamlessly across Garmin plotters, making fleet coordination a breeze during group outings on the Great Lakes.

Tailored for Eastern Canada's Diverse Waters

This coverage spans from the freshwater giants of the Great Lakes to the salty Atlantic edges, excluding only Yukon and Nunavut. Expect granular detail on rivers like the Ottawa, coastal nooks in Newfoundland, and everything in between. Anglers love the structure shading for walleye in Lake Erie; cruisers appreciate inlet guides for Prince Edward Island.

Pro Tip: Use the color palette to differentiate fishing depths quickly—say, blues for 20-30 feet where bass hide—boosting your catch rates without guesswork.

Why Boaters Choose This for Safety and Adventure

In a region prone to fog, currents, and ice, superior mapping isn't a luxury—it's essential. Families on weekend jaunts gain peace of mind; serious offshore adventurers push boundaries safely. The microSD/SD format slots right into compatible Garmin units, powering up your display with pro-level tools.
