Another Navionics:C-map conversion?

[Anonymous]

I have read through this forum and I believe I understand the conversion to c-map and the benefits. Converting to c-map will allow me to use much newer/up to date cartography while navionics does not offer charts that are current in NN1 format. (?)

I have dual RD-139 NN1 displays. I presently run a Nav chip in one display and keep the other display "blank". I setup the 2nd display to read off the network.

Therefore, I should be able to convert one display to c-map and leave my 2nd display as is?

What is the address for the Furuno Service Center? I would rather ship it to the pros.

I am in FL.

Thanks!

Thank you. One additional question: Once the rdp139 is converted to cmap, will I be able to use my Cmap NT+ PC Planner w/ c-card reader to manage waypoints?

A C-card reader will not read the C-Map FP chip. You would need the correct FP reader for PC planner.
