I understand your issue but the technology has changed a lot and you
can now buy a single CMAP NT+ wide area chip that will cover your
entire boating area and well beyond. I'm using 3 year old Furuno
chips which have considerably less capacity than the latest and
greatest, but I can still go from south Florida to New England on 4
chips (including all of the Bahamas).
