New User - download charts
No direct address for Nick. Sunderland gone missing. New installation of Expedtion. Need a chart. C-Map and Jeppesson a minefield. Is there an instruction leaflet on how to get a chart into it? Pain in my arse with this. No wonder we pirate data.

If you are talking about C-Map, go to the Jeppesen website and get their instructions. It isn't intuitive, but it's not impossible either. I take it you have purchased the charts and have the dongle or whatever alternative permissions technology you require?

If you don't want to go the CMap way, and are UK based (I assume from the Sunderland reference), then it's worth looking at the VisitMyHarbour stuff - locally stored or encrypted dongle of raster UKHO charts for UK and adjacent European waters. The usual caveats about vector vs raster apply. If you want CMap in the UK I bought through Campbell Field who was very helpful.
PS I should say that I've found Graham very helpful too - he even offered me some loan hardware when I was having what might have been mulitplexor issues, but I know he's been doing things in Rio this year, so might be hard to contact.

Hi Cags - Cmap is the way - you just need to call them and press through it... I have used C map USA before. They all deal direct only. It is a bit of a hoop jumping exercise but a man of your programing skills can cope with it. 
Call if you get stuck have now finished the Paneari (missed you blokes this year)

The other options are C-Map 4D which is online and NV-Verlag. NV are raster charts, which people have been preferring for the Caribbean.
