I've ended up with pretty much everything running on a SeaTalk network with a Raymarine C90W and want to integrate MacENC into the mix. This device looks like just the thing and it is fairly cheap.

Anybody made it work?

Navionics offer the most extensive detailed chart coverage. They are also the fastest rendering charts and most economical.

1) Purchase the Navionics region(s) desired from X-Traverse ..

2) Activate and download the charts on your Mac following all of these steps ..

3) Launch MacENC from the "Applications" folder. Note: Requires MacENC version 8 or later and a Mac with an Intel processor.

4) Select "Chart Manager" on the "File" menu.

5) Select "Add Chart Folder..." button.

6) Select the FOLDER where the Navionics region has been downloaded.

7) On the "View" menu select "Navionics Charts" to turn on display of the Navionics charts in the Chart window.

I figured this may be worthy of a topic, since users have been asking about it.

As of current "update" release PolarView NS 1.4.72 supports download and display of RTOFS GRIB data, which contains Atlantic ocean current speed/direction and water temperature.

More details and shiny pictures can be found here: Polar Navy GRIB data

As always, download here: http://www.polarnavy.com/main/download

and watch where you're going!

I have a large collection of DMA chart files which I used with The Capn in windows. I attempted to load them into Polarview and MacENC and they are not recognized.

Is there a way to convert these to be readable by these programs?

found the answer ignore this post

Just received the update from 5.65 to 5.70 and wondered what's been changed?

Hi, I am new to Mac and trying to decide on a virtual windows app for, at least, pactor modem interface. Any suggestions as to what program is better at handling serial to usb and keeping windows isolated from Mac files?

Hi, New to Mac, have downloaded demo versions of MacENC and PolarNavy and am waiting for arrival of a keyspan serial to USB adapter to check out full functionality. Any other Mac charting and nav programs to check out?

I use airmail and will have to use windows (XP?) for pactor op. I have a edgeport2 serial to usb that is stable in native windows operation and wonder whether Fusion or Parallels will be a better option? I would prefer not to reboot to use airmail or other SSB programs.
