Following successful test and evaluation by Raymarine, data and information from Waterway Guide is now included in all Raymarine LightHouse Chart Premium subscriptions. Displayed on Raymarine chart plotters, LightHouse Charts offer a new level of clarity to marine GPS navigation.

Waterway Guide has been a trusted resource for boaters across American waterways since 1947. Its reach stretches from the Great Lakes to Caribbean destinations, Bahamas, inland rivers, and the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. A wealth of digital information is now available to LightHouse Chart Premium users, including databases of marinas, anchorages, and service facilities, pinpointed locations of bridges and locks, plus essential navigation alerts about crucial safety information and potential hazards.

Created from official hydrographic chart sources, LightHouse Charts offer maximum readability, intuitive navigation, and superior nautical chart quality. Four distinct color palettes provide the best possible viewing conditions around the clock, and chart symbol controls give you the power to customize the charts to your preference. 

Waterway Guide president, Graham Jones, said, "We have been anticipating this release and are pleased to partner with Raymarine. Distribution of our data and points of interest to LightHouse Charts and other platforms reinforces our company's commitment to safe boating with verified and timely information."

LightHouse Chart Premium allows Raymarine users to access the latest nautical charts and premium points of interest. LightHouse Premium data also includes the latest chart updates, fishing local hotspots, and high-resolution satellite imagery for a complete view of shorelines, shallows, and more.

All existing LightHouse Chart Premium users can add the Waterway Guide data by updating their subscription via download from chartstore.raymarine.com.
