Navionics+ ROW charts are digital marine navigation maps that cover regions outside North America, including areas like Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. These charts provide detailed sonar data, depth contours, and marina information for boaters navigating international waters.
Navionics+ ROW cartography charts are designed for recreational boaters, anglers, and sailors who navigate waterways in international regions outside North America. They are especially useful for anyone planning offshore passages, coastal cruising, or fishing trips in covered ROW territories.
Start by inserting the Navionics+ ROW chart card into the compatible SD or microSD slot on your chartplotter or marine device. Once inserted, the device should recognize the chart automatically, allowing you to select the region and begin navigating with updated depth and mapping data.

Yes, Navionics+ ROW charts include access to chart updates through the Navionics+ subscription model, which provides ongoing improvements to map data. Boaters benefit from freshwater and saltwater chart corrections, new sonar data contributions, and community-sourced depth readings over time.
Start by identifying the specific geographic area where you plan to navigate, such as the Caribbean, Central America, or South America, then match that region to the corresponding Navionics+ ROW cartography product. Each chart card is labeled by the region it covers, making it straightforward to select the correct one for your trip.
Navionics+ ROW cartography charts can be used on compatible chartplotters, multifunction displays, and mobile devices in the international waterways they cover. These charts are intended for use in regions outside North America, including coastal, offshore, and inland waterways across covered ROW territories.
Navionics+ ROW chart cards should be stored in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures to protect the data on the card. Keeping cartography cards in their original case or a protective card holder helps prevent physical damage and data corruption between uses.
