Hey guys and gals just a quick post to let you know something cool that was recently released. Navionics has released integration between the webapp and your mobile app. I tested it this morning looking with an auto route from the Picton Harbour inn out to the upper gap on the Bay of Quinte. If you were staying at the Picton Harbour Inn and wanted to make a route out the upper gap you can just go the http://www.navionics.com and click on the webapp. Make sure to Login. Then click on Route on the bottom and select "auto route" Once you have done that you simply have to drop a starting point and an end point. It will automatically generate your route. The total time, and fuel consumption is based on your boat settings so you can change that to what you use. I cruise at about 30 mph and use about 15 gallon per hour at that speed, so that is what I have inputted. You then need to Save the route so it will show up on your mobile device. If you now open your mobile app and select "route" at the bottom you will see "archived routes" select that. Here was what opened on my phone. I chose the route I had just made I could have named it if I wanted to. Here is the route once opened. I can now navigate that route using my mobile device. If you have a Raymarine your even one step ahead and your Navionics mobile app will push the route straight to your Chartplotter as soon as you step on the boat and your phone connects to the wifi on your chartplotter. This is supposed to be coming on Lowrance/Simrad products as well but I don't know how soon. Just thought it was a cool development and you guys would enjoy knowing about it. Scott

Navionics has released new Navionics + cards that are regional. These new cards offer the same data as the Navionics + cards but cover a smaller region and come at a lower price point. To the boater that is not traveling all over North America there is a savings of $50 and you'll never notice a difference. Something to consider if you are looking for a new Navionics card for your boat and you don't have an existing card. Here are the regions being offered. Scott

Update your Navionics app and you'll now be able to get weather and live buoy data right in the app. Here are a few screen grabs

I usually start around 1.7mph. In the spring our fish are often high. I troll leads of 75-150' back, but in the fall when the fish are deeper I troll them every way possible. Lead ore (5 and 10 colour), dipsy, and rigger. They have caught fish for me everywhere. If original floaters and HJ's catch fish I'm surprised the scatter rap minnow isn't working. But hey fishing is fishing and the one sure thing is nothing is sure. Lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Every body of water is slightly different so it is possibly they don't work well there but I would be surprised. If body baits in general work then you should have success with the scatter rap minnow. They really have become one of my favourite body baits. I would guess you are probably running them under or over the fish if you aren't getting bit on them, but again, every body of water is different and there is no be all end all lure. The colours you use are good colours, I also like to use purples and greens. Scott

Here is the link to the video I mentioned in the seminar yesterday about SonarChart live. I made it yesterday on West Lake. I am waiting for Navionics to upload the webinar and I will provide that link as soon as it is uploaded. Scott

Geesh that is putting me on a pedestal I don't know I can live up to. . Just kidding. I'm sure there will be a tid bit or two of something interesting for you. Scott

The webinar is recorded and will be posted to youtube. I can provide a link within a week or two of the webinar. If I forget to come back and provide the link just send me a PM or email at [email protected] to remind me. Scott
