Have experience with several installations of Furuno vx2 and MaxSea systems.
First you need to check that you have MaxSea NavNet Commander or similar,
since MaxSea is also sold in versions without NavNet support.
Second you need to check that your MaxSea dongle was configured for C-Map
charts,
think that your supplier could do this. If not you should get the three
configuration
codes and enter them manually. This is done from startmenu -> MaxSea
programgroup ->
Configuration codes (don't remeber exactly from the top of my head)
Might also be that you got a paper (not the manual) with your MaxSea copy
that has the
three configuration codes (code1, code2, code3). If your dongle is not
configured for
C-Map chart it will not work... the good news is that the three
configuration codes should
be supplied for free from either your dealer or MaxSea directly. When/if you
apply for these
you should have your dongles serial number at hand.
Third
If the above does not work it might be that your software version in the
Furuno vx2 is not new
enough. You might be able to get the the newest software version from your
Furuno supplier.
And also istructions how to use the software. It is 3 files that you put on
a empty FAT formatted
SD card and insert into your vx2 unit and boot it up... this takes about
1-2minutes and your radar/plotter
will have the newest software.
