Charting Sharing Chart data New with 2.0 functionality is the ability to share charts across the Ethernet network. Chart Sharing allows a user to insert a compatible chart card from Lowrance, Navionics, Jeppesen or other provider into a display on the Ethernet network and view the chart information on any other compatible display on the network. Chart sharing allows the user to save money by not requiring the user to purchase a chart card for every unit on the network.
