The "HD" in the title is not marketing fluff. Standard charts might show a depth contour every 10 meters. Navionics HD v3.1 offers contours every 1 meter (1.8 fathoms) in high-density surveyed areas.

This not only created personal maps but also contributed to improving the community’s shared database.
