4.1 CompactFlash cards overview
CompactFlash cards enable you to use additional cartographic
information , and save and archive data.
Their uses include:
• Detailed cartographic information: Obtain detailed cartographic
information of the area that you navigate using Navionics® chart
cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card
types, please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it. The
amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas
and for different scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the
status bar - the number represents the distance in nautical miles
from the top of the chart window to the bottom of the chart window.
• Archiving: To archive waypoints, routes and tracks.
• Saving: To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other
equipment, such as a PC.
You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided
that you follow the correct procedure. The chart information is
retained on-screen until the chartplotter redraws the screen; for
example, when you pan outside the current area, or use the Range
button to change the chart scale.
Caution: Care of chart cards
To avoid irreparable damage to and/or loss of data
from chart cards:
• Ensure that chart cards are tted the correct way
around. DO NOT try to force a card into position.
• DO NOT save data (waypoints, routes, and so
on) to a Navionics chart card, as the charts may
be overwritten.
• DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a
screwdriver or pliers to remove a chart card.
• DO NOT remove a chart card while information
is being written to or read from it.
