For Navionics Updates cards go through the activation process Activating your Navionics Updates Card 10. For Platinum+ or HotMaps Platinum products Your chart is preloaded with Nautical Chart, SonarChart and Platinum features Community Edits (for compatible plotters) can be downloaded to the card at this time 11.

Estimation of download time will vary based on internet connection & speed, as well as selected chart size. Navionics+ Preloaded cards include Nautical Chart and SonarChart files loaded on the card when purchased (excluding US & Canada, which is preloaded with Nautical Chart only). This will contain several GB of data, which will take a significant amount of time to update. [img]http://navionics.secure.force.com/kb/ser...0EMU0000000kHXW[/img] Cards can also be purged of the preloaded data by selecting the trash can icon . Your Navionics chart files are removed from the card and you can then select the areas of charts to download. Note: If you have a preloaded Navionics+ or Navionics Updates card, purging will remove all of the files on your card. Charts must then be downloaded using the selection tool.
