3.7 Installing charts
This section deals with installing the different types of charts that are
compatible with RayTech.
C-MapNT+/PC charts from CD-ROM
IMPORTANT - RayTech must be run and exited before attempting to
install C-Map NT+/PC Selector program. Failure to do so will prevent your
RayTech software from being able to find installed C-Map charts.
To install C-Map charts from a CD-ROM it is necessary to install the C-Map
NT+/PC Chart Selector software onto your PC. This must be installed in
accordance with the instructions on the C-Map software.
Using the C-Map NT+/PC chart selector you select the charts that you want
to install. You then purchase the relevant chart licences on-line and register
them. They are automatically detected by RayTech on start up and are
made available to the RayTech program. C-Map charts are not installed
using the RayTech chart installer.
Note:
RayTech does not support dongled charts. It is recommended using
a USB- C-chart reader instead. This also allows you to use your
charts with a hardware chart plotter as well.
C-Map USB C-Card reader
The USB C-Card Reader must be installed on your PC before you start
RayTech software. Failure to do so will prevent RayTech from being able to
access C-Map charts on C-cards or waypoints or routes that are stored on
the User card.
Charts inserted in the USB C-Card Reader are read in real time as long as
the card is actually inserted in the card reader. C-Map charts cannot be
downloaded to your PC for off-line viewing.
Maptech cartography
Maptech BSB V4.0 cartography
You should install and register Maptech BSB V4.0 cartography in accor-
dance with the installation instructions contained on their software. Failure
to follow the instructions will prevent charts being installed by RayTech.
Earlier Maptech BSB cartography versions.
Versions of Maptech BSB cartography prior to V4.0 do not need to be regis-
tered prior to installation using the RayTech chart installer.
