10 steps to installing charts in Seaclear.

[colinml]

New here. Got great help with my first question. Hope this might be helpful to the next person.

1. Download raster charts from NOAA.
2. Open MapcalII utility. This is a seperate program from Seaclear. You will find it in your Start menu.
3. (IN Mapcal) Tools--Set Directories.
4. (Mapcal) Assign the path to the file you just downloaded.
5. (Mapcal) Click OK.
6. (Mapcal) Tools-->Autoload list-->scan for new charts.
7. (Mapcal) Tools-->Autoload List-->recreate.
8. Close Mapcal.
9. Restart Seaclear (if it was open while using Mapcal).
10. (In Seaclear) File-->chart-->list all.

You should see the chart(s) you just installed.

Thanks man. I "Dicked Around" with Seaclear a few months ago and gave up. I will give it another shot. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks People,

The messages in this forum got things working well for us! The use of Windows Vista, My Magellan 500 Gps with Sea Clear is progressing satisfactorily.

Most Gratefully Yours,

I did those steps, many times and others. As far as the step 5 goes,
I acutaly unziped the files and dragged them into the "charts" folder
in Seaclear's program file. Still can not open them, mapcal wont
find them with the search, even if I open the folder and right click
on the chart, choosing "open with" and selecting mapcal....nope.

PLEASE HELP!
Thanks,
Marshall
