It seems like forever since the last upgrade. What is the current version?

Also, this forum appears to be nearly dead.

Hi Terry,

The last version for MacENC that I have seen is 8.75. It runs on macOS 10.13.4

However, it is a 32 bit application which may not run on 10.14 that Apple may release in a few months. I have asked if the developers plan to upgrade it to 64 bit but have not heard back from them.

!and yes, this site is dead

br,
Jon

As a follow up to my last message, Navionics charts are no longer available for MacENC (8.75) from Fugawi.

Also, raster charts can not be opened in MacENC (8.75) under macOS 10.14 (Mojave).

Further to Jon's point. MacENC is not compatible with Mojave. I have contacted MacENC support but unfortunately there has been no update so far.

I updated to 10.14.1 a couple days ago, currently installed Navionics and NOAA ENCs are working fine so far, haven’t checked on the Fugawi issue.

Can confirm that my rasters are NOT working...

That's the issue I'm having bobetter. ENC's load but raster don't. Also MacENC won't work once Mojave is full 64 bit.

Just a reminder of how good MacENC is...

I agree bobetter... I hope the developers update the program so that as Mac OS evolves MacENC will remain relevant.

To further complicate things, Fugawi recently announced it will no longer provide chart downloads and updates for all navigation applications beyond November 30, 2018. Your accounts on Fugawi.com will be closed December 31, 2019.

Anyone know why? Are they closing down shop? Or shifting gears to a different product offering?

Hi Jon,

Agreed.

Not a problem for users of MacENC that use ENC charts from free download countries. Those users who's home countries (ie Canada that are stuck in '90's) will continue to make it either costly to keep charts up to date. Mute is MacENC doesn't run on 64 bit OS. IMO.

When asked "is progress being made on the compatibility  issue with Mojave..."

 At this point I am hopeful that MacENC will receive the required update to make it compatible with Mojave and beyond.  If this actually occurs (still not confirmed) we will also take over chart provision from Fugawi who is getting out of the chart sales business.  Although there is nothing confirmed yet we should know for sure by the end of December and hopefully have the update at about that time.  I wish I could give you a solid confirmation.  I was told I would get word on this in a couple of weeks.
