Garmin Blue Chart Instalation Help!

[RJD]

Help please!! My mate has bought a Garmin 60C handheld and subscribed to blue chart for the area Dover to Amsterdam. The product is registered and he has all the unlock codes which have been entered in to the system without problem....
Trouble is the chart area for Dover to Amsterdam does not appear as one chart but a whole jigsaw of smaller map areas...
Does anybody know if we have to highlight each individual area within the Dover/Amsterdam folio to build what we want or is there a key stroke that will do the lot....
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

From memory, I have a Garmin 176c, there are two things to do. One is to zoom into the specifc area you are looking at and the jigsaw effect disappears as you zoom into the one chart. The other, if you don't want to see the boundaries under any circumstances, is a menu option to display the charts boundaries, switch it off and the jigsaw disappears.

You dont say if you are using Mapsource on a PC, but with it you can plan a route and then in a menu select all maps along that route, and upload them. Otherwise you can drag the select map cursor over the area you want.

Thanks for the information, zooming in has resolved the problem. If only they covered these basic operating procedures in the manual...
Happy sailing. Tony P
