Import C-Map files

Many GPSs use C-Map cartography and those usually save files to a chart card in C-Map format. For those units that

use C-Map cartography (Furuno GP-7000, Furuno NavNet 1&2, Navman 8xxx, Northstar M series, and Sitex), you can

use this program to import/export waypoints to them. For those units using an SD card, the import/export routines will

read or write the data to the card. The file is named userimg.bin and is a binary file with the capability of having

multiple (up to 60) sub files within the same file. The import routine will show the multiple sub files, if they exist, and

allow you to select one or more to import. Each time you save your waypoints to the card with the GPS or PC-Planner,

it creates a new sub file. On exporting from the SeaMarks program, however, only one sub file will be exported. That

is, it will delete those earlier sub files. If your unit uses the proprietary C-card (or FP) data card, then you will have to

use the C-Map software: PC-Planner and its associated card reader to read and write the files. Suitable, non-proprietary

readers can not be found for FP or C-cards. FP card readers are hard to find, but we have one. If you need an FP or C-

card read one time, we can handle that if you mail us the card. For more information on using PC-Planner, see the 3

sub paragraph of the Import Furuno paragraph below.

IMPORT Fugawi text

The program can import the files exported by the Fugawi utility in pure text format.

Import Furuno/OziExplorer TXT with DMX field

The program can import the TXT WITH DMX FIELD file that OziExplorer or the Furuno downloader exports. This is

a file that is downloaded from the Furuno GP30 series by the companion Furuno utility.

Import Furuno (Navnet 2)

There are several choices for Furuno transfers. For all new units like the NavNet 2 or 3 series, you would use the SD

card transfer. Using an SD card is easy as you may insert it directly into any SD card reader. Many laptops come with a

built-in SD card reader. The Furuno NN2 GPS will read or write two files on the card named: "GP1650B.RAT" and

"GP1650B.ROU. These are the default file names. One contains the waypoint names and the other the waypoints and

routes. These can be directly imported into the program. If, for any reason, you have problems with this import routine,

you can use the free software: MaxSea Planner available from Furuno dealers (but not on the Internet). This program

(MS-P) will import the RAT/ROU files and export a GPX file with the data. Then that GPX file can be

imported/exported via the GPX import/export routines. NavNet 3D import is explained a little later.

To use an FP (Furuno Proprietary) card (as opposed to a C-Card, an SD card, or a CF card) you must use the C-Map PC

Planner software and gray (not orange) card reader to read and write the card. It uses a proprietary format not recognized

by a PC without the C-Map driver and no universal card reader fits the FP card. Unfortunately, unless you already have

the gray FP card reader, your chances of finding one to buy are almost nil. Furuno stopped producing them way back.

However, we have one and some blank cards too. So, if you have a one time need to transfer data to or from an old

Furuno NavNet1, give us a call and maybe we can help do the transfer.

If your GPS uses an NC card (Navnet proprietary), you are probably out of luck on using the card transfer method. This

card is more obsolete than the FP card and the reader to connect it to a PC is almost impossible to obtain. The

GP1650WF and 1650WDF Navionics units used these cards. Furuno lists an 000-148-719 item that might be a NC card

reader for $295 but an Internet search did not list any sellers. Again, we have one for helping customers, if needed.

Your best bet with this unit is the serial cable transfer method previously described.

If you use the Furuno and a terminal program (like HyperTerminal) or the companion Furuno loader, you will get a file

saved on disk that is a TXT form with either a DMX organization or a PFEC organization. These are text files that can

be imported by this program.
