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?

pmorgan · 15 September 2005, 10:53

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

Very handy for when the Isle of Wight moves

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?

Hugh Jardon · 15 September 2005, 19:25

changing from a cf type card to a mmc card with latest map, is what i was referring to....chris

Richard B · 15 September 2005, 19:55

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

Hugh Jardon · 15 September 2005, 20:01

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

Richard B · 15 September 2005, 20:07

OK, but what chartplotter takes a Navionics chart on a MMC?
