One last note: HomePort only works on the coastal charts at this time. Then you can load it on more than one computer. Make sure you buy the software on the card not the download. The price is right ($30) and it's a pretty cool concept. Make sure you check for software updates on this software on a regular basis. It is not as powerful as MapSource but I think it's because they're still working out the bugs. I like the software for what it does, gives you the chart detail for the entire US Coast. You can't just move the file to the computer, it has to read it from the SD card.Īlso, if you have a Garmin G2 Vision card, HomePort will read this as well. NOTE: You have to have the preloaded chart card in the computer and HomePort has to see this file for you to get the detail. The software should find your chart card and give you the detail you want. Insert the preloaded chart card and open HomePort on your computer. Doing this will erase the HomePort software.ģ. NOTE: Do Not Use the HomePort card to load the maps like Garmin tells you to. Download all of the charts from your GPS to a blank SD card (use at least a 2GB card, there's a lot of data.) This will take from 30-45 minutes to do. Load the HomePort software on your computer.Ģ. The detail you'll see on your computer is exactly what you have on your GPS, and what MapSource will show as well.ġ. Actually Homeport is a software that allows you to use the charts from your preloaded, late model Garmin units on your computer to review trips, waypoints, routes, ect.
