¹ The following chartplotters are considered to be compatible with RayTech Planner: RC400, RC435 / RC435i, A65, C-Series MFDs, E-Series MFDs, and Pathfinder PLUS Series Displays (Pathfinder PLUS Series Displays must be operating with v4.09 or v4.11 Pathfinder PLUS software. Accessing cartography from a C-Map NT+ C-Card and transferring waypoints via a C-Map User Card requires the retired E86008 C-Map USBCC Reader).

² The following Raymarine chartplotters can be interfaced via NMEA 0183: RC400, RC435 / RC435i, A60 / A65, C-Series MFDs, E-Series MFDs, Pathfinder Series Displays, RN300, RC320, and RC425. An AIS receiver may be interfaced directly to the PC or to E-Series MFD (preferred).

³ The following Raymarine chartplotters feature a SeaTalk interface: C-Series MFDs, E-Series MFDs, Pathfinder Series Displays, RN300, and RC320. C-Series and E-Series MFDs do not feature the ability to transfer waypoints and routes via SeaTalk.

⁴ Navionics cartography can be viewed in conjunction with an E86026 Navionics Multicard Reader. Cartography on C-Map NT+ C-Cards can be viewed in conjunction with the retired E86008 C-Map USBCC Reader.

⁵ Supported in conjunction with USB web cameras and video capture devices.

⁶ This feature requires that the PC be interfaced to via SeaTalk to a ST290 DPU and ST290 Graphic Display.

⁷ This feature requires that the PC be interfaced via SeaTalkhs with an E-Series MFD or via hsb2 with an hsb2 Pathfinder Series Radar Display.

⁸ In addition to the requirements specified in footnote 7, GPS and stabilized heading data sources must be interfaced.

⁹ This feature requires that the PC be interfaced via SeaTalkhs to a DSM300 or via hsb2 to an hsb2 Pathfinder Series Fishfinder / DSM250.

¹⁰ This feature requires that the PC be interfaced via SeaTalkhs to a DSM300.

¹¹ This feature requires that the PC be interfaced to an E-Series MFD, which is in turn interfaced to a NMEA 2000 or J1939 engine.

¹² The features listed below apply to RayTech RNS software running in conjunction with the Windows XP operating system. Hsb² communication is not supported in conjunction with Windows Vista.

¹³ The features listed below apply to RayTech RNS software running in conjunction with the Windows XP operating system. SeaTalk^hs communication is not supported in conjunction with Windows Vista.
