Companion MFDs

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Dennis,

Raymarine MFDs are designed to share cartography from LightHouse, Navionics, and C-Map chart cards. As each of the Chart application page/panes capable of being displayed by the MFD are designed to be individually configurable with respect to the type of cartography (MENU->PRESENTATION->CHART SELECTION), orientation of the cartography, overlays, objects display, etc. care must be taken to ensure that each Chart application page/pane has been configured to display the desired type of cartography and that a chart card containing this same type of cartography is present within the reader of one of the system's MFDs. It is possible for the Chart applications within these MFDs to simultaneously support any of all of the supported types of cartography.

As Raymarine does not offer a type of cable having the product name raytech cable, it is recommended that you verify that all of the following have been satisfied:
- the MFDs have been interfaced to one another via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable
- the Data Master MFD has been interfaced to the SeaTalkng backbone (if one is installed onboard) via an appropriate length of SeaTalkng Spur Cable
- all MFDs have been updated with the latest a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD software update. For more information concerning how to check the version of software within your MFD, click here.
