OpenCPN & Navionics - Raymarine

[Sea Devil]

I want to download my Opencpm created routes and waypoints onto a micro card and put that into the spare slot of my new Raymarine eS78 multifunction chart plotter. The eS78 has a Navionics plus SD card chart area...

What I am hoping will happen is that all the waypoints and routes will magically appear on the eS78 screen or at least be accessible from the main screen..

Does it work like that or am I kidding myself?

Thanks

If it’s anything like my Lowrence you need to import from the card and then your good to go

Export them from OpenCPN as GPX files and put them on the card, the plotter will recognise them, the manual will tell you exactly what you need to do.

Thank you both. As soon as I get back to the boat I will try it
