Claiming Free Charts

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Jeff,

The promotion which you have referred to was to address customers of MFDs which had either been preloaded with Navionics Silver cartography (i.e. A-Series Classic MFDs, C-Series Widescreen MFDs, and E-Series Widescreen MFDs) or had been bundled with a Navionics Silver Chart card (ex. label specifies MSD/91S/RYM, where 91S indicates region 91 Silver and RYM indicates Raymarine). At approximately 30-day intervals the VoyageXchange web site was provided with a list of the serial numbers all MFDs sold within the prior 30-day period which would have included Navionics silver cartography, permitting Voyage Planner customers of MFDs having the same registered serial nubmers to then download these Navionics Silver charts into the Voyage Planner software via commands issued via the Voyage Planner software itself.

Approximate 1-1/2 years ago, Raymarine replaced the Navionics Silver chart card with Navionics+ chart cards (ex. label specifies MSD/NEB) within Raymarine MFDs bundled with a Navionics+ chart card which has been pre-populated with US and Canadian coastal and lake nautical charts. The label of these Navionics Nav+ chart cards additional specify "Raymarine Navionics+ Bundle". The cartography stored on these chart cards should be installed directly from the chart card into Voyage Planner. Similarly, cartography stored on separately purchased Navionics Platinum Plus, Gold, Navionics+, and Update cards may be installed directly from the chart card into Voyage Planner ... i.e. no Navionics cartography would or need be downloaded/installed from the VoyageXchange web site.

References to the aforementioned program are being stricken from Raymarine's website as we speak to avoid any further confusion on this subject.
