ChartAid - RayTech Navigator Users

RayTech Navigator:

ChartAid Raster and Photo charts have been tested with RayTech Navigator 6.2.  Both the Raster and Photo charts work as expected, with the following notes. 

Installing Charts:

After you have generated your ChartAid Raster or Photo chart(s), you must install the new chart(s) using RayTech Navigator before they can be displayed.  To install your new chart(s):

  1. Press the 'Stepup' menu button at the bottom of the RayTech Navigator window.
  2. Then press the 'Install Charts' menu button at the bottom of the RayTech Navigator window.
  3. RayTech Navigator will then search your disk for all available charts.  This will take several minutes.  After it has found all the available charts, it will produce a list of the available charts. 
  4. Select the chart(s) that you want to install and then press the 'OK' button. 
  5. RayTech Navigator will then install the selected charts by copying them to its own working folder. The working folder is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Raymarine\Raymarine Ray Tech Navigator\RRF". 

If you want to change an existing chart you will need to first delete the chart using RayTech Navigator before re-installing it.  If you forget to delete an existing chart before re-installing it, RayTech Navigator will indicate that it has installed the new chart but it will actually reference the existing chart and not your new chart.  To delete an existing chart:

  1. Press the 'Setup' menu button at the bottom of the RayTech Navigator window.
  2. Then press the 'Manage Charts' menu button at the bottom of the RayTech Navigator window.
  3. Find the chart that you want to delete from the popup list.
  4. Right click on that chart and then select the delete option.  Note that you can only delete one chart at a time.

Overlaying Photo Charts:

The picture on the left is a screen shot of RayTech Navigator's 'Charting' option window.  To view the 'Charting' window press the 'Charting' toolbar located at the top of the Raytech Navigator window. 

To display ChartAid Photo charts set the 'Photo Charts' option to 'MapTech Photos'.  To enable overlaying Photo Charts over other charts adjust the 'Photo Blending' selection to the desired level. 

If you have any questions, please contact Bill Stockton.
