4.1 CompactFlash cards overview
CompactFlash cards enable you to use additional cartographic information , and save and archive data.
Their uses include:
•Detailed cartographic information: Obtain detailed cartographic information of the area that you navigate using Navionics® chart cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card types, please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it. The amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas and for different scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the status bar - the number represents the distance in nautical miles from the top of the chart window to the bottom of the chart window.
•Archiving: To archive waypoints, routes and tracks.
•Saving: To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other equipment, such as a PC.
You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the correct procedure. The chart information is retained
Caution: Care of chart cards
To avoid irreparable damage to and/or loss of data from chart cards:
•Ensure that chart cards are fitted the correct way around. DO NOT try to force a card into position.
•DO NOT save data (waypoints, routes, and so on) to a Navionics chart card, as the charts may be overwritten.
•DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to remove a chart card.
•DO NOT remove a chart card while information is being written to or read from it.
