Add the Navionics Charts to your Website
For years, companies have asked to display our charts on their websites to promote on-the-water activities. Now they can! All over the world important publishers, international organizations, marine electronics manufacturers, charter companies, fishing forums and others have implemented the Web API to enhance their websites. Dedicated partner support is available to assist with implementation. Check out the docs, code examples for developers, partners examples and the video to get started.
The Web API allows visitors to your website to see your content while they pan and
zoom to view Navionics charts. This includes SonarCharts™ HD bathymetry, which can
be toggled off and on for quick comparison with traditional nautical charts. Integration
with third party maps such as Bing (Google with limited features), enables you to add
points or draw lines and polygons for a richer experience.
The API lives on your website basically as a google map type deal but has information
visitors can play around and look at. It’s our #1 page. it can also be tweaked to use
markers to show photos, maybe fishing hints, articles, social media contest, etc…
something that brings people back to your site and provides content. I’ve listed some
examples below. Let me know if this is of interest to you.
