MacENCx64 is now the name of the MacENC application which has just been published by its new developer NavStation.
MacENC has been completely adapted and recompiled into 64 bits for recent MacOS systems and new processors, which explains the new name. I continue to ensure the French translation. But be careful : to date Navionics cartography is no longer available. So there is no charting yet for the coasts of Europe, except ENC S-57 and S-63 available from Chartworld (see the page Digital charting).
All original functions have been retained. A completely redesigned new Chart Manager, coupled with a Download Manager, allows you to download charts directly from the developer's server. NOAA ENC charts are available, as well as some other regions in raster format. ENC S-57 and S-63 charts are supported as before, The contract with Navionics could not be continued, the new developer is currently negotiating for coverage of Europe.
This is a much awaited return from the many sailors who have got since 2006 their Mac on board. It remains to be hoped for the imminent arrival of full charting for coasts of France and Europe..
As in the past, I will continue to provide the French translation.

Good evening Francis,
the link is repaired . the new version is 190 euros and I wake up too late for the free update…
And what's more, it won't recover my old Navionics maps..
So I'm going to wait a bit … the new card proposals in particular.. because for now … it’s not cheap..
regards
François
Hello Francis.
Thanks for the info. On the other hand, you should post a topic on Hisse and oh… Indeed, for old users, a free update offer until 31 December… and not everyone may be subscribed to your mailing list.
Kind regards.
Christian Brugeron.
