poor advice at the counter
I had an old nautical chart from 2015. According to the person at the counter, it could be updated with an update card. I pointed out that the SVB website states the old chart must not be older than 5 years. The response was that it didn't matter, they'd never encountered this before, it would still work, and if not, I should call.

I installed the chart installer (very easy, works great), but the result was that the chart was too old and couldn't be updated! The update card wasn't exchangeable, so I bought a new nautical chart. The update with the update card is scheduled for 2026; we'll see, since it was already activated in 2025.

The Navionics chart is great; the in-store advice could be improved; the telephone advice was excellent.

Works flawlessly
032023 ordered and received a 16 GB card.
Had some problems with the card reader on the first computer - on the second it worked without any problems. Old C-map SD card detected for activation.
When activating, you select your map area (Navionics Large), which normally costs €249.

Perfect for recovering an old card and upgrading it to new microSD support
Here is a low cost solution to change its card format when changing display for a model using a MicroSD card Very satisfied. The procedure is well explained on the NAVIONICS website. But don't forget that you need a computer, internet and a card reader capable of reading the initial card of the previous device.

One of the few retailers that still offers 2GB cards
Only 2GB CF cards fit into my old but still unbeatable Geonav 4Gipsy navigation device. Other retailers unfortunately only offer 4GB cards. Here I was able to extend the life of the device by a few more years. The delivery time (for an article in stock) was 7 days between ordering and shipping a little longer than expected, but at least the navigation system is now up to date again. The map can be updated quickly and easily on your own computer, you just have to do that Narrow the area a little so that all data fit on the CF card.

Perfect, Instructions from NAVIONICS could be improved
The end result is perfect. However to avoid stress during a loading which can be very long (several hours), the instructions for NAVIONICS delivered with the product could be more precise, more detailed.

Very good result but procedure not very clear.
If this is the first time you do the operation, it is better to be quiet and have a lot of time. The procedure attached to the cartridge is simple (too ???) and one asks many questions finally useless. It arrives perfectly at the end of the download without any bugg, including in case of loss of internet connection (it's so long ....) Improvements Navionics could in its instructions put a number of additional information to reassure users.

While I know your hands are tied regarding the update, I find it a stretch to work through this Navionics guide. My PC skills are not that bad, but some of the possible errors during the update cannot be corrected, ... in other words ... trial and error are then ruled out.
