Probably not news to anyone other than me !!
Found out that you can exchange your old Navionics memory cards for nice new up to date ones, costs 25% of the full price.
Really good service just posted them of to these guys, http://www.navionics.com/DealerList.asp?countryid=UK
and got the new card back 48hrs later.

is it possible to send them a cf card and get a new map on a sd card to you think or does it need to be like for like card type?

I am afraid I cannot say as I sent them a SD card. I would give them they a call they seemed very helpful.

ok here is the scoop
if you have an older type format card and want to upgrade it to a different card and get the latest map then they will give you a 50% discount for trading in your old card against the new card and map, how cool is that

apparently Tony Blair has plans to move us closer to the USA, but i think the Isle of White is staying where it is...
i have an idea regarding the cards so will spill the beans if it works out ;-)

I'm not clear about what's being offered by Navionics....
Are the two offers described by Pete and Chris different ones?
IIRC, Navionics do two types of cards - Navionics Classic (B&W) and Navionics Gold (coluur).
What are these offers, chart corrections? or the opportunity to upgrage from Classic to Gold when we B&W chartplotter users upgrade to colour?

Why would you want to change from a cf type card to a mmc card?
Hugh Jardon

because i can get a cf card cheap from a friend and use it towards a mmc card for a new colour chartplotter i am considering buying
