Navionics Integration
Your Navionics Integration Just Got Better
The Navionics map layer has been a key feature within the ProNav Angler Mobile App, allowing users to have highly detailed lake charts to strategically target depth ranges along contour lines. With this Navionics integration, the ProNav Angler Mobile App turns your smartphone or tablet into a powerful chartplotter device, which is an experience that is just like using a conventional GPS chartplotter or “fishfinder”. Using the ProNav Angler Mobile App, you can do all of the following:
- View one-foot depth contour lines and details of underwater structures
- Program your trolling motor in seconds to provide hours of hands free navigation
- Use your Navionics mobile subscription, starting at just $14.99 per year
- Switch back and forth between Satellite and Navionics map layers
Why Do I Need the Integration?
The Navionics integration is not required to use the ProNav Angler system, however it does enhance the power of your tablet or smartphone by effectively transforming it into a fully-featured chartplotter at an extremely affordable price. You will be able to switch seamlessly between satellite imagery and lake charts at the tap of your screen. This can be very beneficial when targeting drop offs or other underwater structure. Navionics makes it easier than ever to find likely spots to fish, and with the ProNav Angler, you can easily create a casting or trolling route or use the anchor mode to position your boat precisely on the sweet spot.

So What’s Different?
With the original release of ProNav’s integration of Navionics, the full set of features and capabilities was only available for iOS devices. With the most recent update, Android users will be able to enjoy the same complete functionality that the iOS users have experienced and will no longer have to go through the process of importing a route from one app to the other with the seamless map layer integration.
