HOW TO upgrade your 2011 SeaClear editions for the new 2012 version

If you have purchased our "Charts for SeaClear" during 2011 rest assured they will not expire or self destruct, you can continue to use them. They are licensed "For Navigation" for one year from the day you received them.

However why not upgrade NOW for £20 ?

Here at VMH we have worked very hard to improve this chart package over the last 6 months. We've finally managed to come up with what we *think* will be the ultimate (and non changing) format for this remarkable budget package in years to come.

Apart from using bang up to date charts dated 23rd Dec 2011...

This edition is a very different animal from everything we've released so far. It works in a completely different way, although SeaClear itself will look and work as before (no need to re-learn anything).

Changes incorporated into the 2012 editions (USB and DVD)

Feature: The whole packages, including charts are now fully installed on any number of machines. See installation process, it's very simple click here
Benefit: It's lightning fast. Because the DVD or USB only acts as an "Ignition Key" used to verify your installation. No constantly spinning DVDs or poking out USB dongles.
Feature: SeaClear is now fully functional (other than chart printing disabled)
Benefit: Routes, Waypoints and everything else can be saved (early 2011 versions couldn't do this)
Feature: Embedded HTML help section, by technical author Richard Fairman BA
Benefit: Full help can be run in a separate window, while you get to know SeaClear
Feature: Built in "My Own Charts" folder for experienced SeaClear users
Benefit: Easily allows you to add commercially available or self scanned charts covering other areas and use in conjunction with the package. Sample chart of Brazil included to try. Could be very useful if you cruise French waters and have paper charts already... you can scan them, calibrate and use. Everything is there.

Upgrade Charts for SeaClear 2011 to the new 2012 edition Dongle to Dongle...

By DOWNLOAD

... £20 if done within 12 months of purchase.

If you have a VisitMyHarbour dongle already, it's easy to do this upgrade. This upgrade only will deliver the "Charts for SeaClear 2012".

If you have VisiCharts, pilotage etc (and want to keep these) the upgrade can't be done by download, it's too big. 2012 VisiChart packages will be available in Feb 2012, and upgrades will be by post exchange only.

For those who only want "Charts for SeaClear" 2012 on USB dongle there are differences it's worth noting. The 2012 package will NOT run straight from the dongle. It needs installation, which takes a couple of minutes. Once installed it's lightning fast, and the dongle is only used as an "Ignition Key". Once SeaClear is started the dongle can be taken out..it's designed to go on your key ring. Use on multiple machines, no problem.

Right...how to upgrade your VMH dongle (as seen in the photo above) THIS WILL NOT WORK on ordinary USB sticks, only on YOUR genuine VisitMyHarbour dongle.

Use this link to pay £20 for this new edition (via PayPal) BUY NOW.

Within a few hours you will receive a reply email with a time limited download link and instructions. The download is 380 MB and will take maybe 30 mins with a broadband connection.

Don't try it with a dial up or mobile connection.

The download is an executable file. You plug in your current VMH dongle, start the executable, and it WIPES and rebuilds your dongle..takes about 5 mins.

If anything goes wrong..don't worry. We can sort it if you send us the dongle.
