Instructions for downloading LightHouse Charts
Instructions for purchasing LightHouse Charts, initializing a microSD card prior to downloading LightHouse Charts, using LightHouse Chart, and troubleshooting may be found on the Detailed Instructions web page of Raymarine's LightHouse Charts web site. Links for the LightHouse Manager for Windows and LightHouse Manager for Mac OSX operating systems may also be found on the Detailed Instructions web page Raymarine's LightHouse Charts web site.
Note: When choosing a microSD card to be used for storing LightHouse Charts, the capacity of the microSD card as well the file system used to format the LightHouse Chart card, the constraints of the MFDs that the chart card will be used with must be adhered to. Most users of LightHouse Charts will never require a microSD memory card having more than 32GB capacity. Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs are compatible with microSD memory cards having capacities up to 32GB. Such microSD memory cards may be formatted with a FAT32 or NTFS file system. Raymarine's Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs are compatible with microSD memory cards of any capacity. Such microSD memory cards may be formatted with a FAT32 or NTFS file system. However, we have seen some instance where microSD memory cards which have been formatted with a FAT32 are not recognized by Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. After these same microSD memory cards have been reformatted with a NTFS file system, then they are recognized by Axiom/Axiom Pro/Axiom XL MFDs. Accordingly, the safe bet would be to format the microSD memory card with a NTFS file system before downloading LightHouse Charts to the microSD memory card.
