Simulator demonstration cartography

An updated LightHouse Charts base map is available that includes detailed areas of cartography. These detailed areas are intended to be used for demonstration purposes only.

The updated LightHouse Charts base map (including the demonstration areas) is included when downloading LightHouse 4 v4.9.330 or later from the website. It will be installed automatically when using the chartplotter’s Update software > Check SD card installation method.

Important

  • The updated LightHouse Charts base map is NOT included when updating the chartplotter using the chartplotter’s Update software > Check online installation method.

  • When upgrading an Axiom 2-Series display from LightHouse 4 v4.8.164 or earlier, the v4.9.330 installation (using the Update software > Check SD card installation method) must be performed twice to make the updated base map available. After the second installation, the updated base map and demonstration areas will be visible.

When the display is using a Demo profile, the chart app will include areas with detailed LightHouse Charts cartography.
