1. Introduction

Furuno is pleased to announce the release of a new update for the free NOAA USA

data. This update provides the following improvements and additions:

the library as well as many other chart updates. Please refer to the end of this

document for the complete list of charts that were added.

- Updated NOAA Raster Charts: This edition includes the latest chart updates

that can be found on the NOAA paper charts.

- NEW “USACE” River Charts: The edition introduces brand new vector charts

3. Installation on NavNet 3D

3.1. Deleting the old data

Before installing the new charts it is recommended that you manually delete the old

chart data on every MFD. To determine which version of data is installed on an MFD,

press the [MENU] key, select the “Chart” page and select the “Data Catalog”. To delete

a file, right click on it and choose “Delete”:

- If the release version of the US NOAA Vector charts “SDUSxxV57MAP” ends

with “01”, “02”, “03”, “04”, “05” or “06”, this unit should be updated with the new

“09” Vector charts.

- If the release version of the US NOAA Raster charts “SDUSxxRMAP” ends with

“01”, “02”, “03”, “04”, or “05”, this unit should be updated with the new “06” Raster

charts.

3.2. Installing the New Data

If an MFD needs to be updated with the new charts, you can download them using the

links provided above. You may also return your existing 1TB (not 500GB) External

Chart Hard Drive to Furuno to be updated at no charge. If you have not ordered an

External Chart Hard Drive, this would be an excellent and highly recommended time to

do so. You can order one containing the latest Library, using part number MM3-WRL-

DHD ($200 list price).

Copy the data at the root of the SD-Card(s). If you downloaded the files from Internet,

make sure to unzip them before transferring them on the SD-Card.

Note that if your MFD has Software v2.07, you can use a large SD-Card (16GB for

example) and transfer multiple files at the same time.

Note: On the MFDBB, it is highly recommended to load the new chart data via the USB

port using an SD-Card to USB adapter or a large USB Flash Drive (16GB for example).

Insert the SD-Card into the upper slot of the MFD to which the data is to be uploaded.

On the MFDBB, it is recommended to load the charts from one of the USB 2.0 ports

(making the transfer much faster).

IMPORTANT: When loading multiple charts at the same time, make sure you don’t

overload the MFD memory. To know how much data you can load onto the MFD, look

at the number of Memory Slots remaining (Menu -> Chart Catalog) and multiply this

value by two. This will give the maximum number of Gigabits that you can load on the

MFD (ex: if four memory slots are available, you can load up to 8GB of data onto the

SD-Card or Flash Drive)

Press the [MENU] key, select the “Chart” page and then select “Data Catalog”. Press

the “Install Data” button.

Select “Yes” when the following prompt appears:

The transfer will begin and a window displaying a progress bar will appear:

When the progress bar is complete, it will disappear from the screen and the MFD will

start. The new data is now loaded and ready for use.

4. Installation on NavNet TZtouch

On NavNet TZtouch, the charts are directly read from the SD-Card located under the

cover over the left SD-Card Slot. To update the charts, remove the SD-Card and insert

it into the SD-Card reader of your computer.

4.1. Deleting the old data

Browse on the SD-Card to the NOAA USA folder and delete the files in the Raster and

Vector Folders.

4.2. Installing the new data

If an MFD needs to be updated with the new chart data, you can download them using

the links provided above.

You may also return your existing External Chart Hard Drive to Furuno to be updated at

no charge. If you have not ordered an External Chart Hard Drive, this would be an

excellent and highly recommended time to do so. You can order one containing the

latest Library, using part number MM3-WRL-DHD ($200 list price).

Copy the data to the NOAA - Raster and Vector Folders of the SD-Card. If you have

downloaded the files from Internet, be sure to unzip them before transferring them

onto the SD-Card.

You also need to update the chart catalog to reflect these changes. You can download

the latest catalog file at http://www.maxsea.fr/data/catalogue.zic. After you download the

file, copy it to the root directory of the chart SD-Card.

If you have multiple TZT MFDs, repeat this process with all the SD-Cards. Note that

once you have updated one SD-Card, you may use the “Clone” function of the MFD to

duplicate SD-Cards.

5. Appendix: Vector Charts Added

Chart Naming Convention:

The 1st and 2nd characters represent the country code (US).

The 3rd character represents the navigation purpose. The U.S. has five classifications:

- # 1 is for overview charts with scales ranging from 1:1,500,001 or smaller

- # 2 is for general charts with scales ranging from 1:600,001 - 1:1,500,000

- # 3 is for coastal charts with scales ranging from 1:150,001 - 1:600,000

- # 4 is for approach charts with scales ranging from 1:50,001 - 1:150,000

- # 5 is for harbor charts with scales ranging from 1:50,000 or larger

The 4th and 5th characters represent the state.
