We are trying to purchase a C-Map chart for the Mediterranean and Black Sea. We own and love our Furuno 1834C and have always purchased our C-MAP electronic charts through a marine supplier. I realize that Furuno does not sell C-Map products but I am receiving conflicting information - see below.
The C-Map chart compatibility page shows that our old, but good, 1834C is compatible with the chart I want so today I phoned our usual supplier to order one.
The person I spoke was not familiar with our chart plotter so they put me on hold and telephoned Furuno to make sure I was purchasing the correct item. After they finished speaking with Furuno, they spoke with me again and told me that the chart I want to purchase is not compatible with my chart plotter. I do not understand this as we have used the same chart format before. Why would Furuno tell my supplier this, do not all C-Map charts work in the 1834C chart plotter?
The chart I want is the 'Mediterranean and Black Sea' Number EM -M917;a MaxMega Wide chart on an SD card. We have used MaxMega wide charts previously. Please provide clarity on this confusion as I would like to order this chart soon.
Thanks
