I'm running Navionics on a tablet using Sonarphone. I can pretty much do anything I need within app.

Mine too - but I really want to transfer my routes from my Navionics Boating app to my Axioms. Hopefully that will be resolved soon.
This is why I like the "comparative" simplicity in the Garmin products and their external interfacing devices and App's.So I'm still working through getting my Axiom 12 MFDs to synchronize routes with my Navionics Boating app. I have a tech support case open with Navionics and will report back regarding my results. This is what I accomplished so far:
- Upgraded both Axioms to Lighthouse 3.4.66
- Removed my Navionics Platinum Plus card and updated maps, sonar logs and community edits using the Chart Installer software
- Reinstalled the Platinum Plus card on my Master Axiom MFD
- Synced my iPad Boating app with the MFDs and got the following errors:
"No routes or markers transferred. Save to your plotter card first"
"Sonar logs not found"
"Your plotter card is not compatible with Plotter Sync"
"Plotter card not compatible"
So after speaking with a Navionics rep this morning (after a one hour hold time!!!), she suggested removing the data card from my secondary MFD and attempting the sync again. If it doesn't work she said they would replace my Platinum Plus card. I'm trying to figure out an excuse to go to the marina tomorrow to try this solution out. It's driving me nuts!
Had Garmin on my old boat and have Raymarine on this one.This is why I like the "comparative" simplicity in the Garmin products and their external interfacing devices and App's.
I corrupted my Navionics+ card also. I had to call Navionics. I don't know how many times they will re-initiate my card. Until I updated my MFD software I couldn't transfer a route. I can now.
Can you please confirm your setup and LH version? And you can transfer routes from your ipad to your MFD?
This is mine:
Axiom 12 - Lighthouse 3.4.66
Navionics - Platinum Plus
Boating app on iPad - updated maps/latest version
Thank you!
The access to my data cards is on the back of the Axiom units so every time I need to access them I have to take the dash apart. If the sync from the Navionics Boating app to the Axioms is not available wirelessly then I'm going to take the time to create my routes on the Axioms directly instead. It's just not worth having to pull the dash apart every time I want to transfer routes!!Hi Sandy,

I was told by Raymarine you cannot transfer a route from Navionics App to MFD and had to use Voyage Planner. Voyage Planner writes a file called archive.fsh. I used my maps from Navionics with Voyage Planner and it rendered my card useless. They had to re-initiate it.
Hope this clears up any confusion on my part. I was upset my card was wiped clean!

Can you transfer the file over wi-fi from a laptop?
