Vector maps not loading on Mac version 5.2

I can view RNC maps but when I select ENC downloads via chart directory they don't render. Is there some magic sauce I'm missing?

I guess I should state that I can download charts manually from NOAA and load them but the built in downloader ENC charts don't load.

Re: Vector maps not loading on Mac version 5.2

ARTMF Always Read the Manual first..
Also take the time to fully explain what you have done and what you are trying to do otherwise it is a waste of time for everyone..

In Chartdownloader

Note that a "Catalog" is just a list, it is not the chart.
You first update the "catalog" then you select the charts to download.
then you download them.
When you hit "Apply" the charts and chart database should be processed to create "SENC" files used by Opencpn. If you miss any of these you won't have charts.

I thought I had followed the directions correctly but I must have missed a step on the ENC charts. Thanks, that seems to have sorted me out.
