LightHouse Charts Gen 2 and improved Chart app performance

Raymarine has introduced improvements to LightHouse Charts and the Chart app’s cartography engine.

Smaller charts

LightHouse Charts Gen 2 or later will have reduced file sizes, which will improve download times.

Note

LightHouse Charts Gen 2 or later require LightHouse 4 v4.8.164 or later, on Axiom-Series and Axiom 2-Series displays. Element-Series displays require LightHouse Sport v3.20.65 or later.

Improved performance

LightHouse 4 v4.8.164 on Axiom-Series / Axiom 2-Series displays and LightHouse Sport v3.20.65 on Element-Series displays includes a new cartography engine, which provides improved performance in the Chart app, reducing the time it takes to render chart details when ranging in and out.
