[CA] [CA11] Two lighthouse charts on the same card

Bob,

Q. "if I take my current SD card with the NOAA vector east chart on it, and download the NOAA vector east chart to the same card"
A. I assume that you meant to specify that you would like to install LightHouse US NOAA Raster Charts onto the same microSD card which currently has LightHouse US NOAA Vector Charts on it. If so, and the microSD memory card containing the LightHouse US NOAA Vector Charts has sufficient remaining memory to additionally store the desired LightHouse US NOAA Raster Charts, then it would indeed be possible to do so and to have the MFD recognize both LightHouse Charts. As indicated within my previous response, the Details button for the charts which one intends to download from the LightHouse Charts Store will provide information concerning the file size of the LightHouse Chart being considered. As the LightHouse US NOAA Vector Charts and LightHouse US NOAA Raster Charts are relatively inexpensive (your next trip to McDonalds will likely cost more than one of these LightHouse Charts), I typically recommend that one consider simply purchasing both LightHouse Charts and a microSD memory card having sufficient memory capacity to store all LightHouse Charts which you may desire to use with the MFD. If in doubt, I recommend simply purchasing a 32GB (no larger) capacity microSD memory card ... these too are easily purchased from electronics retailers (Walmart, Best Buy, etc.) and prices for these 32GB microSD memory cards appear to have dropped to under $10.
