Frage: What does Plotter Sync mean?
Antwort: Plotter sync is the new feature added to the Navionics Mobile Apps allowing users to transfer Markers and Routes to and from their Raymarine E Series wide and G Series Plotters.

Frage: How do I transfer my Routes and Markers from my iPad to my Raymarine E Series wide and G Series Plotters?

Frage: How do I set up the wireless router?
We suggest you contact Raymarine for more specific information about how to set up a wireless router on the Raymarine network.

Frage: How do I connect my Plotter to the wireless router?
You should use the Raymarine High Speed Sea Talk cable that came with your G or E series multifunction display. This is an Ethenet cable that can then be plugged into the Raymarine network where the Router resides, or directly into one of the output ports on the back of the router (typically 4).

Frage: How do I connect my iPad to the wireless router?
Using the iPad wireless manager in the Settings menu, turn the WiFi connection ON. Then select the correct network from the list generated. This will typically be the name of the router being used for plotter sync. Be sure to look for the change from your Cell network to the WiFi symbol on the top of the phone display. There can sometimes be a delay in the response of a minute or more. Once the phone has initiated the WiFi connection, you may then exit settings and start the Navionics application.

Frage: Will Plotter sync be available on other Plotters?
Navionics is pleased to partner with Raymarine to introduce Plotter sync and mobile applications. We strongly suggest you contact your manufacturer and encourage them to be compatible with plotter sync.

Frage: Is there a limit to the number of Routes and markers I can sync?
Antwort: Yes. The app will notify you when this limit is reached and you will have to delete some data before being able to continue syncing.

Frage: Can I choose what data to sync and what not to sync?
Antwort: Yes, the app will prompt you to select the data you wish to sync. Alternatively you can choose to sync all datAntwort:

Frage: Can I browse the internet while syncing?
