Highly Detailed Lake Charts
Navionics maps are extremely detailed, offering one-foot depth contour lines and details on underwater structures. You can use these maps directly in the ProNav App to plan your route. Using a Bluetooth connection between your mobile device and your ProNav Angler GPS autopilot, ProNav will automatically control your motor to follow the programmed routes while you focus on fishing. With the ProNav Angler mobile application, you are free to record and retrace any routes you create, as well as share them with your ProNav friends.

When should you use Navionics integration?
Navionics makes high fidelity lake maps that can be useful for targeting productive fishing spots. When using the Navionics “fishing mode” (found under map options in the mobile app) you can target specific depth ranges. This mode highlights the desired depth range on the lake contour map, making it extremely easy to create points along a highlighted region and to identify similar structure areas to those that are producing fish. It is easy to find structures to fish using Navionics maps, and with the ProNav Angler, you an easily create a route around the area or use the Angler to anchor your boat on the sweet spot.


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.

With the additional purchase of a low-cost, wireless SonarPhone transducer from Vexilar, you can also use your mobile device to view the depth and find fish.
