Raymarine C120 Winni Map Help

CHSLTD · 08-10-2016, 07:08 PM

I have a Raymarine C120 and I have 2 Navionics CF cards, ""USA East cf/16xg V06 19" and "USA East cf/16xg v02 19" and I can't get the map of the lake to display with either card. I have not been on the lake with my center console in a few years and can't remember what card worked. Any help or info on who may be a Raymarine dealer in the Lakes Region would be helpful.

Do you have charts for any of the lakes in the northeast? I have a Raymarine 435 GPS with the USA east 16xg card that according to Navionics is not compatible with the GPS for lake coverage. They quoted me over $200.00 for a Navionics+ card that apparently is the only one capable of displaying lake charts on the 435. You might want to check with Navionics tech support for assistance.... they are quite responsive.

Note: I decided to wait and treat myself to the new Raymarine A78 series for Xmas rather than spend over $200.00 to support a 9 year old GPS.

We got a new boat at Melvin Village Marina and it had a Raymarine in it. Maybe they can help?

I have a C80 which is about the same vintage as your C120.

I have cards that work, but forget the specific model number of the working card.

If it's a newer card, you may need to update the firmware on the C120 to the most recent. You can download the most recent from the Raymarine Web site.

A dock neighbor had a problem like this when a new card would not work on his unit. I updated the firmware on his MFD and the new card then worked ok.

These vintage classic series are fickle as candle flame.

about 2006 era I saw lots of them and their fussy ray star antennas.

Send me a PM and I will walk I through it.
