Navionics Chip
bassn1:
Anyone know if a Navionics chip can be opened with a laptop? It is telling me that I need a special progran to open it.

It cant :( They make you spend another $120 on a special program and hardware that will read it. Total BS in my opinion, but it is what it is.
CliffL:
I just bought one and when you put it in your computer, it downloads for free from the website. I don't think you can open the chip but they will give you a carbon copy to have on your pc. At least I think that's how it works.

The Old navionics Chips can't.
The New Navionics with "Freshest Data" can . When you Purchase one and Download it you get the Navionics PC app for Free and it is compatible with the Chip. You waypoints can be shared between the two.
