Fugawi Marine ENC software can now load Navionics Plug-and-Play charts (which were purchased after April 2010) directly onto the hard drive!

This means that the Navionics Multi Card Reader is no longer required.

Users will benefit:

• Charts are now saved and loaded from the hard drive, yielding lightning fast load and redraw times.
• There is no cumbersome card reader dangling from a USB port, making the boating experience easier, with one less potential failure point.
• The Navionics Plug-and-Play chip no longer needs to be connected to the PC every time the charts are loaded, saving wear and tear on the chip itself.
• Once the charts are loaded onto the PC hard drive, the Navionics Plug-and-Play chip can be left permanently in the chart plotter, where it belongs.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I use Fugawi Marine ENC without the Navionics Multi Card Reader:

A: First, upgrade to the latest Fugawi Version 4.5.56 here.

Second, ensure your Plug-and-Play chip was purchased after April 2010. (You will know this is the case if you see a file called nTag.txt in the root directory on the card --- under no circumstances must this file be altered or deleted --- doing so will disable the ability of the charts to be loaded onto the hard drive and activated for use with Fugawi Marine ENC.)

Third, connect the Navionics Plug-and-Play chip to your PC using almost any generic multi card reader.

Lastly, in Fugawi Marine ENC, go to Maps|Open Map. Fugawi will automatically detect the charts, and activate them. By default, Fugawi will also copy the entire contents of the Plug-and-Play chart to the hard drive of the PC. Allowing this copy will greatly speed up the chart drawing and will also allow you to use the charts later without the Plug-and-Play chip being present.

Q: Do I need an internet connection to use Navionics charts?
A: Only the first time you use it. After activation, the charts may be used indefinitely on your PC, without further requirement to connect to the internet.You will not need to activate the charts again. You will not need an internet connection while on the water.

Q: Which formats of Navionics charts are supported via internet activation?
A: Any Navionics SD, MicroSD or Compact Flash Plug-and-Play chip shipped from Navionics after April 2010 are supported. This includes Navionics Gold, Platinum+, Fish'N'Chip and HotMaps.

Q: How many times may I activate the charts?
A: You can activate and use the Navionics Plug-and-Play chip on any two Fugawi Marine ENC installations, which you own. Navionics also restrict the total number of times a Plug-and-Play chip may be Activated to 5.

Q: Can I continue to use Navionics chips in Fugawi Marine ENC which were purchased prior to April 2010?
A: Yes. However a Navionics Multi Card Reader is required. Generic (non-Navionics) card readers cannot be used to read Navionics charts which were purchased prior to April 2010.

Q: Will charts purchased after April 2010 continue to work with the Navionics Multi Card Reader, if I so choose?
A: Yes.

Q: Can I still purchase Fugawi Marine ENC with the Navionics Multi Card Reader?
A: The Navionics Multi Card Reader can be purchased separately. Order now. While stocks last. This product has been discontinued by Navionics.
