navionics costal. I have the gold on the HDI 5
over at Bd in the socal section under the MLPA there is a post titled something like mlpas for your chartplotter by Dean Bankrobber. He took the time to create all the mlpas as tracks/waypoints and shared them. I was able to import them into my FF and it works great. It amazes me that he can do it but a multi-million dollar company like Navico cant for something that they charge for.

Thanks for that info. I will probably plug in those MLPAs tomorrow after the update. I feel you on navionics not adding to there maps yet as well.

It appears to be on their web app http://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#products/Gold so it should be on their cards..

Maybe you need Nav+ to get it

I have gone thru all the settings on the unit and didn't see it. The web app is cool too bad you cant overlay the data over google maps!

Interesting. I just checked mine and all of the marine conservation areas are definitely on it. It's pretty much the same as the web app. I have the Raymarine Nav Gold chip in the Dragonfly if that makes a difference?

A while ago someone said the pipe at Dana Point wasn't on the gold cards even though it is shown on the web app, but I found the pipe is on my chart.

Maybe you can update your maps? I would think that software updates are for the OS only, and map updates are a separate download.

MLPA's are on Navionics Gold as well as Navionics+ which is what I am using right now.

Outstanding. Heading to BD now for those MLPA's. Thanks!
