updating navionics maps 2021

[Stan M]

i actually ended up just forgetting about it. i have a new boat on the way end of next season so i figured the current maps would do me just fine until then when i sell the 275 so i am not really going to bother.

What are you getting?

Its a nordhavn 475. Quite the opposite of a yamaha. She’s a slow boat but a 3000 mile range

Anyone make any progress on this, or know if there are any dealer firmware updates?

Not that I've seen...

Ok, here is an update. I called my local dealer asking about map updates for the Middle East for the Connext system. He contacted Japan and they gave him a part number. Doing a quick googling using that part number, it turns out there are 3 of those available; Middle East, Japan and China. The cost, on the high side. $700 - $1000+. Accordning to him, it contains the map updates. ?‍

So it sounds like it is a USB to update it though, did they tell you how to run the update?

The USB stays in, still not clear on the process. The USB will be protected by a PVC tube and a clamp.
Also, according to him, in the future, US maps update will be available; nothing official yet.
