Rom,

Q. Is there a way of removing this option so the areas don't appear grey?
A. Unfortunately, there are no configuration settings available within LightHouse II or LightHouse 3 software to prevent this from occurring. The Navionics libraries with which the LightHouse II or LightHouse 3 software will simply react in the manner which you have observed. Should the chart card be a Navionics+ chart card, then I would suggest that the feature within the Navionics Chart Installer be utilized to erase the contents of the chart card. After doing so, then the checkboxes for Nautical Charts and SonarCharts (if the latter are desired) should be selected and the graphical box adjusted to include only region (ex. (US Northeast, MidAtlantic, etc.) where you will immediately be boating, and then command the Freshest Data update. For those having Navionics Platinum+ chart cards, simply select both Nautical Charts and SonarCharts and then command the Freshest Data update. As indicated within the referenced FAQ, I would recommend avoiding WiFi Navionics chart updates via the Navionics Boating app which are in turn transmitted to the Navionics chart card within the MFD's memory card reader.
