    Maybe.

    It depends on what the native format of the Navonics maps are........if they are JPG, then I suspect so.......if not, maybe not.......

    I don't have a navonics DVD to try with, if you know someone in LOU who wants me to try, I will.

    Later,

    Rick I'm not too sure about your main question...but you can create waypoints on the DVD maps and them transfer them onto your gps unit...if you have the correct hardware...the directions are in the DVD manual on how to do this. Also, you can print the maps..any size and area you want.

    I dont know about cell phones, but you can get gps readings, what you do with them afterwards is beyond my comprehension. I have an eagle sonar gps unit, but lost the book. It took me a year to figure out what my grandson did on his last trip, now I can see my baits sometimes. there was a tutorial on the web, but forgot how to access it. My hand held gpsgot soaked and quit.If you want to borrow my navionics dvd its just a call away.

    Assuming the SD chip will hold the amont of information on the DVD, you should be able to copy one to another, but from a laptop. Navionics places a warning label in the package stating not to place the chip in a computer or it would be rendered useless. I've never tried it, but I put the SD chip from my cameras in th laptop all the time. They're just like another drive.

    You can't plug the preloaded chips into a computer w/o the right software. The Nav Explorer DVD probably cannot be copied to an SD, but I doubt you could even load it into a camera because of it's programing. Now something cool that has come out is if you have either an IPhone or a smartphone, they make Navionics mobile now that you can use on your phone, and take pictures to mark spots. It's a pretty cool deal available on their website. www.navionics.com
