Mapsend Bluenav Carts on SD cards - Where?

[Colin24]

Any good info on where to buy these on-line?
The Magellan site lists them all as 'out of stock'
and the other suppliers I've found online have just cut and pasted
the blurb from the Magellan site. The blurb mentions the advantage of the SD cards over the CD's and then give the option to go to the usual 'add to cart' button. They do not give the purchaser the opportunity to choose between the cards or CDs or which area they want the card to cover.
The SD cards are the medium used by the Magellan GPS I have.
I’m not interested in going down the CD rom route.

I use Mapsend Bluenav and prefer the CD with the SD card that came with them. It means I can copy any chart from the PC or Laptop to the SD card, also I can easily set up waypoints and routes on the PC and download them to the Magellan. Once the CD hads been loaded on the PC you don't need to leave it in the drive to operate Mapsend. But you need to buy the MapSend BlueNav Kit to include the SD card.

Thanks Smudge
The Magellan site makes the following statement about the Mapsend Bluenav charts when bought on CD 'Only 1 chart can be chosen and loaded into your GPS'
My questions are these..
Do they mean - only 1 chart at a time? or do they mean - once you've chosen and loaded a chart onto your SD card you have to make another payment before you can change to another chart.
The reason I'm asking is; My sailing area is on the boarder between two chart areas. If I come out of the river and turn south I'll need one chart area and if I turn north when leaving the river I'd need another.
I have a Magellan Meridian Marine and 1 64k blank SD card.

Only one chart can be loaded onto the SD card at a time. A bit of a pain when you are between two charts, but you can always have a second SD card. The Cd contains charts for the whole of the UK and Europe and are all accessable without any further payment.
Make sure that you have the up to date operating system on the plotter so that all the features like tides, currents, local info is accessable. A CD with the up to date operating system comes with the Kit
