In the PNW we have a passage called the Swinomish Channel. I haven’t used it for 20 years but did this weekend. The important thing to know about the channel is that channel markers flip sides (it’s always red right entering and red left leaving). The trick is to remember when they flip. Having not used the channel for so long I was paying attention to my plotter. I was north bound and just pass La Conner when I noticed the next 4 markers were in reality opposite of my chart plotter. Later that day I checked the chart plotter in my dingy and it showed the same error. Both chart plotters use a navionics gold chip. When I checked my Coastal Explorer it showed the makers as they truly are and when I checked navionics on my iPad it was correct as well.
Not talking about newly added or removed markers, how often have you found navionics to be wrong?
