Chart cards have overlapping coverage within system of Raymarine MFDs

When compatible Raymarine MFDs have been interfaced to one another via their respective Ethernet (SeaTalkhs / RayNet) network communications interfaces, then these MFDs will share cartography among themselves. Raymarine's MFDs are designed to utilize compatible cartography (refer to your MFD's operations guide) which has been saved onto microSD or CF memory cards (again, refer to your MFD's operations guide). Accordingly, only one chart card providing coverage for the area of operation need present within the system. Should the cartography coverage of a single chart card not provide complete coverage for the area of operation and should the MFD(s) have an unoccupied memory card reader slot(s), then additional chart card(s) may be added to the vacant chart card slot(s) of any of the networked MFDs.

Should overlapping cartography of the same type (Navionics Nautical, Navionics Sonar Charts, C-Map 4D Navigational, C-Map 4D Raster, LightHouse Raster, LightHouse Vector) be present within the system, then the MFD will display cartography of the chosen type which has been most recently updated.

Example: A Navionics+ chart card (populated with US and Canadian cartography; updated 7/26/2016), a Navionics Platinum+ chart card (US Northeast & Canyons; updated 9/3/2016), and a LightHouse US NOAA Vectors chart card (updated 1/2/2017) are present within a network of a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs. The vessel will travel from Portsmouth, NH to Annapolis, MD. The operator of the vessel has configured the Chart application to display Navionics Nautical charts. As the system's Navionic Platinum Plus chart card and Navionics+ chart card both contain Navionics Nautical chart and the Navionics Platinum Plus chart card has more recently been updated, then the Navionics Nautical Charts stored on the Navionics Platinum Plus nautical charts will automatically be displayed within the Chart application throughout the New England portion of the passage. The Navionics Nautical Charts stored on the Navionics+ chart card will automatically be displayed within the Chart application throughout the of the passage.
