Navionics, the leader in electronic charting and digital navigation data, announced today an exciting addition to its Gold+, Platinum and Platinum+ marine cartography products, the Bahamas Special Edition. Available as a new special chart area, the Bahamas Special Edition charts cover the northern Bahamian waters from Grand Bahama and Abaco down to Long Island in the south, as well as the southeast coast of Florida. A major enhancement over other electronic charts for the Bahamas, Navionics new Special Edition charts provide exclusive surveyed content with spot sounding and depth contour detail that has previously been unavailable. Available in Navionics' powerful range of good, better, best solutions, the Bahamas Special Edition Gold+, Platinum and Platinum+ options continue to set the standard for the most advanced, detailed and accurate marine cartography available for chartplotters.

"Prior to Navionics Bahamas Special Edition, boaters had to rely on electronic and paper charts that were outdated and provided spotty, incomplete bottom contour detail," said Bob Moshiri, vice president of sales and marketing, Navionics. "Now, with the introduction of our new charts, any boater can be assured that they have the most detailed and accurate cartography available when traveling to the Bahamas."

Providing navigators, anglers and divers with invaluable chart detail, the Bahamas Special Edition caters to any boating interest. The Gold+ version includes accurate and detailed spot soundings, information on ports and marinas, tidal tables and a wealth of information to help boaters navigate treacherous waters. Bahamas Special Edition Platinum combines the same highly detailed Gold+ chart cartography and advanced features with Platinum's award winning 3-D bathymetric views, satellite and high-aerial photography overlays, and panoramic port photography. The Platinum+ version improves on the Platinum experience with extremely high-resolution satellite and high-aerial photography, and XGA resolution port photography. The new Special Edition charts can be used with compatible chartplotters and software solutions that are available from Navionics partners.
