E120/E80 crash with Platinum+ cartridge

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Fricchione,

The E-Series Classic MFDs were designed for use with Navionics Platinum, not Navionics Platinum Plus cartography. The significantly larger quantity of data stored on the Platinum Plus chart cards may dramatically slow screen redraw and may in some cases, overwhelm the processing capabilities of the E-Series Classic MFDs, causing instability of these MFDs as you have reported. Additionally, the quantity of cartography stored on a Platinum Plus chart card cannot be manipulated as it can be on a Navionics+ chart card ... now the most commonly recommended chart cards for use with the A/C/E-Series Classic MFDs. As the hardware and software of these MFDs can no longer be changed/updated and Navionics continues to producer cartography products marketed as being compatible with these MFDs, it is recommended that such issues be reported to Navionics in order that Navionics may be investigate and ultimately provide a chart card(s) which will be compatible with your MFD.
