viewing your navionics card on your pc

[gobbler]

i have downloaded the pc app and i can see the world, when i zoom in i can find lakes but there is no depth contours just the outline of the lake, how do i get the depth contours from my card to show on the screen?

I would assume you are using a Current card. They have a one year span o them before u cannot update em

the card is this years but i don't care to update it i just wanna view the lakes on it on my pc.

Have you tried zooming in and is the lake on your map card area i have an East map and my lake is on mine and contour depths ect,

The PC app may just be a card viewing app so you may have to insert the card to view the card data. Gotta_fish is also right to suggest that you may have to zoom in a fair amount to view any sort of useful data.

Alternatively, Navionics has another software called NavPlanner 2 capable of viewing Navionics card data. It is a more complete planning software so it may not be what you need but still good to be aware of!

i have my card inserted and i have zoomed in alot, i can see roads and such but no contour lines in the lake, i'm getting a bit frustrated with my lack of skill with technology.

Don't feel like the lone ranger, I can't figure out half of all this myself.

In the Navionics PC App, if you zoom out (scale should be showing at least 3 digits), you should see clear brown squares around the zones that contain chart regions. If you don't see any brown squares (or maybe its a different color?), maybe the PC App doesn't recognize the card?

I would say close the PC app and restart it with the card already plugged in. That's how I see my card.

Anyways, software and technology is confusing overall, but I'm a stubborn guy

Are you loged in to the Navionics store? If not log into your Navionics account and go to page that shows your license status your are allowed 5 if you have downloaded the map properly it should 4 left basically you used 1. And you can try and reload the map.

Make sure the lake your looking at is listed for the card you have,Im in NC and have an East card I went over and looked at a Lake in Texas an I dont have contour detail of it .Not all lakes are on the card somewhere there is a list of lake for different cards.I know some bodies of water are not on every card.
