Canadian ENC Charts

[Tony_M]

What is the preferred way to load Canadian Hydrographic Service Digital ENC Charts into my Raymarine C-125 & Es-98 MFD. It seem they come on CD. Do I just copy them to the memory card the MFD uses?

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Tony,

Please note that the charts which you have referenced are not compatible with Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs. These MFDs are compatible with cartography from Raymarine LightHouse Charts, Navionics, and C-Map. Each of these cartography sources include compatible cartography offerings for Canadian waters.

Chuck,
I looked at the recommended page regarding the different chart options but I couldn't find any information about Canadian charts. They list US, Europe, Australia and the rest of the world. How do you get Canadian charts onto an ES series MFD? Thank you

Baraka,

The a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs are compatible with cartography from Raymarine LightHouse Charts, Navionics, and C-Map. Each of these cartography sources include compatible cartography offerings for Canadian waters. Should on follow the links to Raymarine's LightHouse Charts store, one would find an offering for the "Fugawi Aboard Canada and bordering US States" providing the requested coverage. Please note that LightHouse Charts do not include tide and current data. Should one require tide or current data in addition to cartography, then it is recommended that on contact Navionics or C-Map to explore offerings from Navionics (Navionics+ or Platinum+) or C-Map (4D MAX or 4D MAX+) which are specific to the Canadian waters to be navigated. Should one be seeking to purchase a new a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD bundle including cartography for Canadian waters, then it would be recommended that the Ordering Information tab of the respective MFD's Specifications web page be consulted for the part number of MFD's bundled with a "NORTH AMERICA NAVIONICS+" chart card (included Canadian coastal, river, and selected lake cartography).
