Navionics generally regarded as having finer detail - but also smaller geographical area coverage per card / £ of your money.

Nauticpath - large geographic area coverage for your money and reasonable detail - but some report ommisions in some areas.

I have both NW and NE Nauticpath cards and I am more than happy with them. To get similar coverage with Navionics or any other chart cards would have been seriously more expensive.

Quite serious ommisions in parts.

I used it from Glasson Dock to Lagos via Falmouth, Bayona, Leixioes and Cascais.

Good in UK..... OK for Bayona, Good for Lexioes and cascais, Poor around lagos. Also poor in the Canaries.

Bought the med cartridge, (as well as the 2 C-maps for the PC). nauticpath poor along the Amalfi Coast, (Positano & Amalfi).

If you are using it in the UK, and perhaps cross channe, perhaps it's OK... further afield, I'm not sure I would want nauticpath to be my main source of info without checking the areas carefully beforehand.

Many thanks for your replies, I am based in the Med and ready to instal my first plotter so getting it right if possible important.
Thanks again
