Yes indeed, and I'm pleased the "fix" worked. I was just adding a note of caution for others who might glance at this thread in the future and get the impression that bringing in USA geofenced plotters is a complete success story. I suppose it depends what a person wants and can budget for. In your case, you are running a pair of plotters and you don't have to use the USA unit as "Primary" which will help.

Anyway - you'll enjoy two plotters. It looks like you have the Insight networked and the plotters should be "talking" seamlessly. I set them up depending what I'm at for the day. When passage making, in poor viz or offshore, one is in "Steer" mode and the other in either Radar and/or a fairly localized chart (5 mile) to show AIS traffic. Pottering about bays and coast, maybe one zoomed in/one zoomed out or maybe a Sounder display to entertain passengers who like to look at the "fish"....

All true
