Northstar 538 plotter

[Giffo65]

I am wanting to save all my waypoints to my C Map card in the Northstar 538 Plotter.I have read through the manual I downloaded, but cannot see anything that helps.I am keen to save them as the screen is starting to disappear in places, so I would like to get all the info out before it dies.Any help appreciated.

Gday Giffo,I have a C Map bathymetric card but i don't think you can save directly to the card,I have a Trackfish 6500.You can get a C Map User Card which I think is for this purpose.I too have to get all my marks out of the Trackfish and onto a Navionics style card.I think once the card is in the unit you go into the Display and choose Other then select User Card and go from there.Hope this helps.Jim

Thanks Jim,I have read in the instruction manual about a user card,are they very expensive ? Below is an excert from the user manual as to why I thought the C Map card could be used.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store
navigation data. Each user card expands the
Explorer 538/538i memory and allows the
data to be transferred to another Explorer
538/538i easily (see section 14).

I have been through section 14 and no joy !

Whitworths stock them,Bias boating I would imagine also.Not too sure what is up Bundy way but wherever C Map cards are sold should have the User cards as well.Got to get myself one asap.Jim
