I have no clue if you can for raymarine. the programs I use are for lowrance only. you may have to buy a card if they make them for em.

thanks Sonoma! I will have your card shipped Monday

I guess I'm going to have to do research and try and figure out about making some maps then. They use navionics and that crap doesn't work in the marsh

Just found this.

RayMarine requires a .rwf file for a transfer when using their RayMarine Ray Tech Navigator. For this conversion, you will need to use the Babel conversion program and convert the file to RayMarine format, open the Ray Tech Navigator and import the converted file into the program.

You can then transfer it to a spare data card and then to your GPS unit.

That's interesting about the Ray marine files. I heated the Babel program you can make routes and stuff as well from google earth.

And I currently have an all In one sela card with that area being processed but if you want the myrtle grove and Venice area I can make ya one till that one is done.

I'd be interested in looking at your maps whodat. I've used Standard's chips for years but always looking for something better.

I assume they work with Simrad units since they're Lowrance compatible?

Yes I believe so they will. I can email you some screenshots. In my opinion they are much better than standard and more clear. I like standards but they are pricey and I can get ya some maps way cheaper
