NavTrans™ software is required when using Navionics®
ECharts™ in Eagle units. To install NavTrans™
software:
- Download the self extracting exe file and run it.
- To run it, click the Start button, choose Run, then Browse,
then Open Navinst.exe then click OK.
- Choose where to store NavTrans™ on the hard drive,
then click OK. The default location is C:\Navionic, which will
work fine in most cases.
To use NavTrans™ software with FloppyCharts:
- Download the self extracting exe file and run it.
- Run the installed program called NavTrans.exe (defaults
install to C:\navionic)
- Connect the unit to the PC. Choose the baud rate if you
need to transfer data at a rate slower than 115,200.
- Insert a FloppyChart in the disk drive and click the
INSTALL CHART button
- After the program connects, enter the directory for
installation and then wait for completion. This may take a few
minutes.
- Click the TRANSFER button
- After connecting to the unit, select the file to send to
the unit
- If there is more than one map in the file, select the
desired map
- Select the flash section(s) to which the map will be
sent
- Wait for completion
To transfer a previously installed map to a unit, skip steps 4 -
5.
Each FloppyChart may only be used with one GPS unit. Once a unit
has been used to install a chart, the chart will be tied to that
unit. If you get error 9955 when transferring a chart that was
installed with NavTrans™ version 1.0, reboot and then
select the old serial format option under serial setup.
