DarkHorse Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 G'Day Crew, Just wondering if any fellow raiders had upgraded recently to the new Navionics Platinum Plus charts yet? If so is it REALLY worth the extra $$$$ Any actual screen shots would be awesome. Maybe Craig from Huetts has had a play?? I cant just drive to a local chandlery as the closest is about 1.5 hours away! Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGenius Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Wondering the same thing! Apparently Lowrance has a boat setup with this all running to demo on their HDS sounders. There is a little demo on the navionics website The current Lowrance catalogue also has some screen shots in the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkHorse Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I was speaking with a navionics guy the other day, he said to be honest unless you have a large screen display eg. 10" it really is not worth getting the platinum or platinum plus for the 3D stuff as you lose too much detail on small screens............ SHop around for a good price though, as the pricing differs greatly. For now I am going to stick with the gold. Regards, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framedtrash Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 yeh i have a garmin and have the upgrade card for that and most of the time i have all the fancy shit turned off too much crap on the screen with a small screen you only want the information you need not pretty 3d diagrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a boat Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 Hi, I personally have not had the chance to play with a Platinium + card in the water yet, but as stated on the smaller screens the Gold work fine and give the detail 90% of user will ever need. That said if you have a HDS-8 or 10 then yes the extra $140 for the Platinium Plus I could justify. Cheers, Huey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
