What is the difference between Gold & Platinum+ charts?
A. The marine Gold charts have depth contours, spot soundings, buoy information, obstruction information, show the chart in a paper like view (the water has different shades of coloring), the Xplain feature (which explains different icons on the chart), has major coastal roadways, enhanced port services, and is NavPlanner & NavPlanner2. The marine Platinum+ charts have the same information as the Gold charts but include additional advanced “award winning” features such as Coastal Points-Of-Interest, Panoramic Port photos, geo-referenced Coast Pilot Books, top-down satellite photo overlay and 3D view for land & water.
