Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
Hi, thanks for the discussion. I have the same problem with «no internet connection» reported from Navionics. I have also tried to cut out all firewalls, and other security programs with mi luck - so far.
Tricky this one!

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
The Expedition connection is setup as "default" and is working fine.
Navionics chart loaded is able to connect and grab chart updates etc. I have tried to activate Navionics both with the chart loader open and closed.
Windows firewall is disabled. I can't figure out anything that would or should be blocking outgoing connections. Perhaps I will have to dig in to the network deeper. Nick - any insight into an IP or URL this is trying to connect to so that I could test further?
Thanks!

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
Exp doesn't have any influence on it.
It seems ok here. I updated an SD card here yesterday and it worked as expected.
The Navionics library was updated a few days ago.
Are these problems occurring with the Expedition 12.4.x or an earlier version?

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
When I confirm the Navionics installation by pushing "ok" in Expedition, I can see the program immediately us 0,1 Mbps network capacity just before the "no internett connection available" show up. I think this indicate that the problem is related to the Expedition software.

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
It is related to the Navionics system not seeing an internet connection - it is just an error message returned by Navionics.
Beyond that, I don't yet have any insights.
One useful thing to know is which verion(s) of Exp this is happening with as the Navionics dll was updated a few days ago.

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
It is all ok here. If someone with the problem could try an Expedition earlier than 12.4 and it works, that would help a lot.

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
I have just posted 12.4.2 as a couple of users needed new things.
This reverts to using the previous Navionics dll.
Apparently it solves the issue for those who have it, but if anyone else can confirm.

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
I wish I could try it but the laptop at issue for me is on the boat and I had to go out of town for a few weeks so hopefully someone else can try.

Re: Navionics Will Not Activate
I had the same "No Internet connection available" issue yesterday when trying to install Navionics on 12.4.1.
Upgraded to 12.4.2 today and Navionics started working immediately without installing the cartridge again.
