Ok, so if that's the case what's the preferred method?
Seems like the idea is that a route would be planned out on Expedition, then saved to an SD card, which then could be put into a Zeus MFD and uploaded?

Expedition on PC connected to B&G H5000 via Actisense USG-2 set to H-Link.
Baud rate 115200.
(Also, connected to from H5000 to PC via ethernet, for Websocket).
Getting GPS, wind etc from H5000 to Expedition so I know data is going in that direction.
However, I'm not sure how to export waypoints or routes from Expedition to the H5000 (assuming this gets pushed to the Zeus3 MFD?).
Under Marks>Export, I have the .gpx and .csv options but "Instruments" is not clickable.
I'm sure this answer is on the forum but I can't seem to find it so if this has been answered could someone point me in the right direction?
TLDR: Given the above interface, how is a route created in Expedition exported to a B&G system?
New to Expedition, appreciate the help.

Thank you both for the help with this. We'll be sending some info on to the customer so he can make a decision. I'm sure I'll have some other questions in the future!

So what would be a good source for the ENCs? Customer is based in the Northeast USA, his Navionics cards had him covered from the Canadian Maritimes down to the Caribbean. Is that the same process that I used to grab one of the NOAA raster charts for the US Northeast?
Thanks again for the help with this.

Thanks us7070,
He does have a CD drive connected to the laptop via USB so I guess this could work...just seems more cumbersome (going backwards technology-wise) so I was thinking of the SD cards. Direct download might work if multiple chart regions could be populated to one card.
The unfortunate part is the ~$1300 for Expedition, then having so spend roughly $750 in charts (5 chart regions @ an average of $150/ea) to get back to where he was as far as coverage goes.

Hello,
I'll start by saying I'm totally new to Expedition. Recently completed installation of a B&G Zeus3/H5000 package on an Oyster 53 for a customer. This is replacing a Raymarine E-Classic system. He also has an onboard computer networked to the navigation electronics.
I've downloaded Expedition and played around in the "Limited Functionality" mode to see what it's like. Prior to the customer buying the license he had some questions though. He has 5 different Navionics chart cards on the old CF cards. I could find no mention from Expedition of being able to use Navionics charts (I have downloaded one of the NOAA raster charts to sample it).
A) Can the Navionics charts be used with Expedition software (CF card in USB card reader)?
B) If the above answer is "No" what would he be looking at as far as getting duplicate chart regions to replace the Navionics charts? Would he have to basically buy all the same regions in C-Map cards?
Just hoping to get a few answers so our customer can make an informed decision prior to buying a license.
Thanks for any assistance.
