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.
