Navigating waters with no visible landmarks or shallow shorelines can be a daunting task for even the most experienced navigator. Pair our HomePort trip planning software¹ with your existing BlueChart® data and view map details such as underwater hazards and hidden obstacles so you can plan a route to avoid them.

Patch download comes back with the following error:
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
Im pretty noob sorry if this is the wrong place. I got my Blue chart g2 on my GPS, but I cant figure out how to get it in homeport?
All you need to do is make a folder named "GARMIN" on a usb stick or sd card and copy the "GMAPSUPP.IMG" file into that garmin forlder. Open Homeport and you will see under the "My data" folder your bluechart map will be there. If you see this then you know that you will be able to view your map and plan routes etc. Enjoy!!
