It took me 4 blasted days to download each of those individual charts. Something really needs to be done about that - I consider it user-hostile and wrote about it in our article about the iPhone and navigation. I can't imagine going through that process again to download the charts - yikes! I'd much rather point to a single large file and grab it all and not have to mess around with anything else. There might be a lesson there Rich.
Well, this was a thread for MacENC/MaxSeaTZ, but you've brought up iNavX. If you post some specifics regarding what charts you downloaded, what type of connection you had, etc. over on the proper forum (iPhone), I'm sure someone will be able to help you with your download difficulty. I can't imagine spending 4 days to download, I'd think you could get the entire X-Traverse library in 4 days....of course it wouldn't fit on the iPhone....
