Updating software over the Internet

The software for your MFD / chartplotter and certain connected Raymarine devices can be updated by connecting the MFD / chartplotter to the Internet and checking online for available software updates. Follow the steps below to install software available online.

Important

Axiom 7", Axiom 9" and Axiom 12" displays do not have sufficient internal memory to download the software update. When downloading software updates for these displays, please ensure that you have a blank (empty), correctly-formatted MicroSD card with a minimum formatted capacity of 4 GByte inserted into the card reader. Do NOT use cartography cards for system software updates.

Software updates
  1. Select Update software from the Getting started settings menu: (Homescreen > Settings > Getting started > Update software).
  2. Select Check online from the pop-over menu.
  3. If the MFD / chartplotter has an existing wired or wireless connection to the Internet, the MFD / chartplotter will check the Internet for available software updates and display a list of devices for which software updates are available.
  4. If the MFD / chartplotter does not currently have Internet access, select Wi-Fi settings, connect the MFD / chartplotter to a wireless Access Point / hotspot with an Internet connection, and then select the Back triangle at the bottom of the screen.
  5. Ensure that the relevant products in the list are selected.

    Products for which software updates are available will automatically be selected. You can deselect product(s) by removing the tick next to the relevant item in the list.

  6. Select Update selected to commence the update process.

    Any networked MFDs / chartplotters will show a ‘software update in progress’ message until all software updates are complete. During this time you will not be able to interact with your MFDs / chartplotters.
