My understanding is that the Fugawi are raster based charts. Do you
know that to be true.


Plain Fugawi uses raster charts. Fugawi ENC supports both raster and
vector charts. US vector charts are available for free from NOAA with
more and more available all the time. Canadian vector charts from NDI
provide less coverage so far and are not cheap, let alone free. They
bundle the vector charts with raster charts to give complete area
coverage. Get the ENC version if you go with Fugawi.

Also, I am assuming that it is possible to load the Fugawi charts on
BOTH the laptop and Ique simultaneously. Do you know that to be true.


Once installed on my computer, the NDI vector and raster charts for
Fugawi are simple files that can be copied and moved to another
computer. I don't think there's any reason you couldn't download them
to another device, although running both simultaneously would probably
violate the license agreement.
