Utilizing a wireless enabled Lowrance unit along with the Navionics app you can map live right on your phone or tablet. Here is how to do it.
Step 1
Enable the internal wireless on your Lowrance unit.
Step 2
Click to view the Network Name and Network Key
Step 3
Connect device to the Wi-Fi from your Lowrance unit. (NOTE: Once setup initially you can skip steps 1 and 2 and go straight here to connect)
Step 4
Open your Navionics app and follow prompts to set for “Inland” or “Marine” depending on where you are boating.
Step 5
Adjust water level if necessary. The depth reading shown on your Navionics app will be whatever your Lowrance is reading at that time.
Step 6
Go fishing and record map data while you are fishing. Once you return home and your phone or tablet connects to your home WiFi your data will be sent to Navionics to process.
Within approximately one week the mapping data will be integrated into what Navionics already has and the map will be completed for your mobile app and Navionics card once you update them.
