Does anyone have a high quality photo of a Winni chart? I took one of my Bizer chart to keep on my phone, but it gets blurry when I zoom in, and I'd like to be able to look at it when referencing locations people post/talk about.

Thanks!

The quality is spectacular. It is still referenced on their site but I can't see where, or if, it can still be ordered.

Download Navionics to your phone... almost everything you see on a Bizer will be sharp and clear on the app. I actually used Navionics while fishing when my Garmin had a temporary problem.

I don't think I'd use it nearly enough to justify that.

I literally only use it to find places people reference. Like the "toilet bowl" place referenced in another thread.

You could just put the Navionics web map URL as a favorite in your phone. It's free but you need a cell signal to use it.

Start here:

https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#boating@9&key=cyeiGl%7CsrL


Or use https://winnigas.com/gasmap and click the NauticalCharts button, but the Navionics link allows locations to be saved.

I purchased the digital version of the Bizer chart and imported it to my PathAway GPS app. I can now use the Bizer chart as my GPS map with no annual fee.
Here’s a screenshot. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200607/6effcfbd05a643d2beb7cbb445142de6.jpg

The program/app can import a variety of graphic formats. You orient the graphic by indexing three points on the graphic with GPS coordinates; this is easy for the Bizer map since they list the coordinates for every lighted marker. Once the indexing is complete (only necessary once) you’ll see your position using GPS.
