@neauoire if it's C-Maps, I happenstanced upon a guy selling the carts for the entire Inside Passage from Olympia WA up to Elfin Cove AK. if you two need or want them, holler and I'll make sure they get to you some how, some way :) they're old, but I have to assume at least vaguely still kinda useful in broad terms

@klardotsh ah yes! it's a C-MAP cart, but it's orange and it's quite a bit smaller than the pictures on craiglist.

@neauoire Looks like that's the C-MAP NT Max (or Max Wide maybe?) series. Welcome to the wonderful world of cartography DRM, where there's a several-pages-long PDF compatibility guide of what plotters will accept which carts... kmes.co.uk/download/c-map_comp

Anyway looks like NT MAX and NT+ are both plentifully found on the 2nd hand market whenever you need them, that's cool! :) glad that plotter found a good new home!

@klardotsh @neauoire wow I had no idea gps nav systems had their own media format thats a trip

are any of these reflashable or somehow only written in the manufacturing process

@liaizon @neauoire I'd love to find out some day, but don't have the time any time soon to rip one apart and RE it with an Arduino or whatever even if I found a free one.

Looks like the newer C-Map carts are actually just encrypted / DRM'd SD cards with a PC app to update. I believe Navionics hardware carts are the same general idea. These really old SNES-cart looking ones? Unknown.
