C-Map and Raytech software

[Greg G.]

Anyone have this software and using the USB version of the C-Map card reader? Not sure what the trick is in getting this going, but I have not been to pull this off...The reader installed ok (Drivers loaded and shows up in the Win2K device manager), but I can't get the software to display the charts (C-Map NT chart)...Help....

Navigator software

You can down load a demo version of the software from www.raymarine.com. Version 4 is a lot better than ver 2 or 3 which were inferior to either Chartview Pro or Vis. Nav. Suite, in my opinion. I've played with all three but only actually sailed with chartview Pro. i think I will now switch over to Navigator because it approaches the others in most areas and integrates nicely with the Seatalk information. A HSB interface to your PC will be available sometime later this month according to info I picked up at the boat show. You will need the RS232 to Seatalk interface converter if you want to have all the seatalk data available on your PC.
