Chart support
Is Expedition only going to support Navionics in the future? What is going to happen with Cmap?

BUMP
Also curious as to the long term direction of chart support in Expedition...just want to be sure I'm investing my $ and time in the future standard now.

Re: Chart support
Only Future Proofed system is official ENC.
All others are dependent on licensing agreements / private companies. And are not official anyway.
The new S-100 standard that is in development looks pretty good.
but for now S57/63's (easiest through Chartworld) are the best official way to go at the moment.

Re: Chart support
Expedition will support ENCs, RNCs, Navionics and C-Map X for the forseeable future.
RNCs are rare now though.
The last C-Map 4D chart update will be early next year and Expedition will cease support some time after that.
Expedition dropped support for C-Map MAX charting at the beginning of the year. Maintaining 32 bit compatibility had become too limiting.
I haven't looked at S-100/101 in any detail yet, but it has to be an improvement. The S-57/63 data format is terrible and looks as if it was designed by a government committee that lacked any computer skills.
Check out RaceData for iOS and Android. Expedition data in the palm of your hand, or on your wrist! RaceData
