Can this update be down loaded with a mac ? Can I load this on a sd card and a memory stick from a mac? If so can anyone give me some tips?

Thanks
 
Yes, no problem, I did it with a MacBook. Just make sure your SD card and stick a re formatted for FAT32 and that both media are not bigger than 32GB. Then just follow the instructions as to what folders and files to place on the Sd card and the USB stick.
 
So right now I have the down loaded files in a folder on my desk top. This is what I see

Part 1 OS and APP.zip
Part 2 Internal sounder update, Base wrold data, SiriuzXM Marine Zones, eGuide.zip

Can you kind of walk me through what I need to do to get this onto my Sd card and My zip drive . Not sure how to get these opened and onto the card and zip drive. Sorry for not being up on this stuff.

Thank You
 
Normally your Mac should have an app called 'Archive Utility'. It usually starts automatically and unzips your zip-file when you download one into the download folder, you should then see a folder with the same name as the zipped file show up in the same location. So quite possibly, you have these folders already sitting in your download folder.

The other way you can unzip it is by simply double-clicking the zip-file and a folder of same name should magically appear in the same location, in your case the desktop.

Then mount an SD-card with no more than 32GB. If you have not formatted it in another way, it will most likely be FAT32 format. You can verify this with DIskutility.

Make sure there are no other files on the SD-card, then, on your desktop, open the PART1 folder, select all content, cmd-C (copy it), open the SD card and cmd-v (paste it). Now all the files that you saw in the PART1 folder should be on your SD-card, which you can now eject.

Now do the same procedure with a <=32GB USB-stick and the content of the PART2 folder.
Eject it too and then follow the Furuno update instructions.
 
I opened them up like you said it it made the new folders on my desk top, just like you said. I am going to get a new sd card and USD stick and do what you said to copy them. Thank you for the detailed instructions. I probable won't get to it till this weekend and I will report back. Thanks again for the detailed instructions.
