The settings here are for users with AVCS charts from UKHO. This support will user your chart permits to download the UKHO chart files associated with your permits.
To use this feature you must first have chart permits purchased for UKHO AVCS charts. You install these permits in the Files using any of the normal methods for importing files to SEAiq.
This feature will download charts (both initial download and updates). You can alternately download the Zip archive files from UKHO FTP server.
At most 100MB of charts will be downloaded at a time. If you have large numbers of charts, you will need to download in multiple steps. You can also download the charts directly from UKHO using the link above.
From time to time, you may wish to remove old update files in the UKHO Charts. After deleting such files be sure to do an Update so SEAiq can download any parts of those files that might still have been needed.
This capability can be used for your initial chart download as well as for periodic updates. For your initial chart download you may find it easier to download base or update zip files from UKHO: https://www.ukho.org/enc-download.
You can see the status being updated as the download proceeds. When complete, a notification is given.
Keep in mind that chart updates can be quite large. You may want to wait until you are connected to a high speed internet connection before downloading updates for your charts.
This may be useful when changing accounts to clear out old files. Also, we recommend doing this periodically to reduce the number of update files present on your device.
