Gramin makes a chip "burner" so you can copy charts from a
CD (or presumably a hard drive) to the chip. In theory, you
could download charts from the chip and save them to your
hard drive, then make a new chip. Of course that would
violate the license agreement if you gave the charts to
someone else....

I have 182C, it is a great unit, can be used outdoors, but the cost of the
charts is astronomical. If you could find a way to use a laptop, charts and
programs can be copied from other sailors along the way. Or possibly, buy a
program, getting latest model, then burn chart CD copies from others. I
like Capn, but I have older ver 6.1. I have laptop and 182C, if I were to
choose again, I would skip the plotter, but I have inside steering with dry
place for PC right at the wheel.
