So today, out of the blue, after almost two weeks had passed since I’d last been in touch with Navionics about the chip update issue I was having, I got an unexpected email from them. I thought the matter was done with, but apparently they wanted to rub a little more salt in the wounds.

“Some of the bundled MSD/NEB-2 charts that were included with plotters from Lowrance were able to be updated once, to address an issue with Lake Champlain only. That update was only available for a brief time, which was probably the time you were able to perform the update. There are no other areas covered on that chart to which there were updates. The chart does not have the capability to be updated beyond that, as it is a specialty product not designed with that capability.”

Now, is it just me or does there seem to be some conflicting statements here? A specialty product not designed to receive updates, but can in fact receive them when Navionics feels like it? I am (or at least was) pretty much over the fact that I bought a Gold Nav chip that isn’t really what it was advertised to be, but it still seems like Navionics is just giving me the run-around.
