Version 12.4.2 C-MAP 4D Charting Issues & Options
I've being having issues with C-MAP 4D charts not displaying when Expedition is first launched. I just downloaded 12.4.2 and it seems to have been fixed, so just wanted to confirm that that issue had been reported and fixed.
I also noticed there is a note about C-MAP 4D becoming end of life in 2028. I have noticed some differences in accuracy between C-MAP and Navionics when on the boat (our Raymarine system uses Navionics), so was thinking about switching over.
So, I have two questions for Nick:
- Is the long term strategy to move from C-MAP to Navionics?
- Is it possible to run Expedition and Expedition 4D on the same computer so I can see the difference?
thanks
James

Re: Version 12.4.2 C-MAP 4D Charting Issues & Options
The C-Map MAX and 4D products are both nearing end of life as noted on the Exp web site.
Expedition MAX support will cease a lot earlier because the 32 bit aspect precludes planned development. NT+/MAX is almost 3 decades old!
You can't run two Expeditions at the same time.

Re: Version 12.4.2 C-MAP 4D Charting Issues & Options
Hello. I am experiencing an issue on opening expedition where it is trying to "Initialise C-Map" and then Expedition locks completely on startup.
It's a newer instal, and is 4D 12.4
Any advise or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
Please let me know if there are similar experiences or solutions.
Thank you
Jason
