Title: Sandy Project Help Remap the Northeast
Post by: Still Running on July 11, 2013, 08:08:04 AM

In response to the need for updated mapping, Navionics has partnered with the Marine Trades Association of New Jersey, West Marine and other local businesses to organize the Sandy Project, a 3-day event to be held July 19 – 21 in order to remap affected areas along the New Jersey coast. The Sandy Project coordinates local boaters in gathering sonar logs and other cartographic data. These new data sets combined with Navionics other mapping sources will help build updated charts that can be seen in about one week after the event within the SonarCharts™ layer on Navionics products.
