can i update my navionics gold card for free

A Gold chart can seamlessly cover an entire continent and yet be able to zoom down to a resolution of 1 meter (3ft), with an abundance of data derived from the best available sources and augmented with Navionics’ own surveys and the User Generated Content. Navionics Gold is the 2D flat model and is the most popular chart with boaters and fishermen all over the world, offering the largest coverage areas along with the absolute best detail. Silver charts do not support Freshest Data and UGC, but any system using Silver can accept Gold or Platinum+ products.There is no upgrade available for embedded Silver Charts, but Australian Silver charts on Micro SD Cards can be upgraded to Gold. Silver includes coastlines, drying lines, all navigation aids, depth information up to 10 meters (30 ft), plus other information as recommended by international standards for safe navigation with a simplified, uncluttered chart. Navionics Silver is designed to be preloaded in some Chart Plotters to provide out-of-the-box navigational safety with an enhanced basemap. Only Silver and Gold offer All Australia on one card. Both Gold and Platinum Maps are available in two card sizes, which limit the chart area. Navionics offer three levels of chart detail known as Silver, Gold and Platinum.

But, what’s the difference between Navionics Silver, Gold and Platinum Maps? That’s a question Rod Smith from C H Smith Marine in Collingwood (Vic) gets asked quite often. Navionics map cards are used in many of the popular brands of GPS/Plotters including Hummingbird, Lowrance, Raymarine, and Simrad.
