Recent AICW trip – Aqua Map USA: Marine & Lake Review

I recently completed a trip from Ft Pierce FL to the Upper Chesapeake. I was attracted to the concept of the Sonar Charts and decided to use them as my primary navigation tool. I found the charts reflected accurate pictures of the latest information on the various “trouble spots” reported primarily on cruisersnet.net. I downloaded several of the alternate routes (to another program) but found that they were so similar to what Sonar charts were showing, I stuck with them. The only exception was Dawhoo River where the recommended route was so unbelievable I had to try it - with no problem. It would be reassuring to be able to overlay those alternates on Navionics Sonar Charts! Gary Pensell aboard Eventide - 5’ draft Kadey Krogen 48
