Raymarine Links with Orca Navigation App for Real-Time Route Sharing
Hudson, NH: Raymarine – global leader in high-performance marine electronics for the recreational boating, marine first-responder and law-enforcement markets – announced today its Axiom chartplotters will now offer real-time route synchronization through integration with the Orca navigation app.
Raymarine Axiom users can now instantly share a route from the Orca app to their chartplotter wirelessly. Orca’s modern, streamlined interface makes route planning simple thanks to instant routing. Users simply identify their starting point and destination, and Orca’s advanced navigational algorithms will find the best route specifically for their vessel. To take advantage of this new feature, Axiom owners should update their units to the latest LightHouse 4 software update, available via download on the Raymarine website.
“The combination of the latest technologies featured in Raymarine Axiom chartplotters and Orca’s user-friendly instant routing makes planning journeys a breeze, eliminating a stressful part of preparing for time on the water,” said Michelle Hildyard, Raymarine Vice President of Operations. “We’re proud to consistently make boating easier and safer, allowing our customers to simply enjoy their time on the water.”
The free Orca navigation app is available for both Apple iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. Axiom route sharing integration is available on Orca version 2025.5.1 or later. Users can visit their respective app stores for their device to ensure they are operating the latest release. Axiom owners can take advantage of Orca compatibility by upgrading to the latest LightHouse operating system, version 4.9.366.

This is pretty exciting to me. I’m a fan of what Orca is doing wih their a la carte approach to tablet navigation. Additionally, I applaud Raymarine for their willingness to work with other companies looking to leverage Raymarine sensors and systems. So, seeing these two companies get together is great. Until now, the process of exchanging routes and waypoints between traditional installed equipment and tablet nav apps is often — seemingly needlessly — laborious.
