PC Planner
PC-Planner
turns your PC into a virtual chart plotter, less GPS, while using your
actual C-MAP electronic chart in the process. You can...
- View actual chart data
- Create and change routes
- Accurately measure distances
- Add and edit waypoints and marks
...All the functions normally found in your
chart plotter.
Most of you can transfer
these trip plans to a C-MAP Memory Card, plug it into your plotter and
load these routes on the spot. This means that you go to your boat; turn
on your chart plotter; press a button or two to load your trip data; turn
on the engine and you're off! |

- RAYMARINE: Recently, Raymarine issued
a software upgrade that makes their chart plotters 100% compatible with
PC-Planner and C-MAP's User Cards. While the exact version number of the
software varies from chart plotter to chart plotter, we have tested the
following systems with these software versions:
- RL760 - Software v3.20
- RL70C - Software v4.11
- RL80 - Software v3.20
- RC631- Software v3.20
All of the above work as documented with the
PC-Planner and C-MAP'S User C-card.
Any Raymarine customer anticipating the purchase of a PC-Planner is
advised to contact Raymarine directly at 1.800.539.5539. C-MAP recommends
that you inquire about what will be needed to get your charting system's
software/firmware updated in order to be compatible with PC-Planner, if
you do not have the above versions.
PLEASE NOTE: In some instances, a hardware upgrade is also
necessary in order to complete this update.
Important Note: Customers who do
not own one of the chart plotters listed in the matrix above can still purchase
PC-Planner and view their regular format (non-Furuno) C-cards.
These users will have access to the same chart information as users with
"compatible" chart plotters. However, they will not be able to
transfer data to and from the chart plotter with a user card.
