Do you have a C-MAP NT+ map card I could borrow? I have a 1995 vintage electronic suite from Raytheon that includes a 601XX chartplotter interfaced with the RL-9 radar and my Garmin 75 GPS. It uses C-MAP NT cards. My chart card is from 1999 and now that NT cards are not available C-MAP says the NT+ should work. Has anyone tried this with a 601XX?
I would like to test any C-MAP NT+ cartridge in my setup and see how it works compared to the original. There are possible performance issues (map refresh speed) with the old electronics and the enhanced data on the NT+ cards. This test would help me decide whether to even consider continuing with this old monochrome setup, or whether to start saving for a PDA or laptop and joining the modern era someday. My setup still works great, but I need a couple more years out of it while I attend to things like diesel heaters and running rigging.
I will be at the Rendezvous at Port Townsend in June.
Thanks.
