Note: HomePort has been discontinued. For additional information regarding the discontinuation, see  HomePort Application Discontinued


HomePort has the ability to send ADM user data files to SD cards for use in marine chartplotters.

First, set HomePort to create an ADM file when information is sent to your blank SD card:

  1. Start HomePort

  2. Click Utilities

  3. Choose Options

  4. Choose the Devices tab

  5. Click the circle next to ADM Files (*.adm)

  6. Click OK

Whenever you send user data to a blank SD card, an ADM file will be created. To send user data:

  1. Insert the SD card into the computer

  2. Open the HomePort program

  3. The user data should appear on the left side of the program in the My Collection folder or any other folder that may have been created

  4. Right-click on the user data (either individual data or folder that contains the data) and choose Send To

  5. Choose the SD card that should be labeled as the device (if the card was formatted previously)

  6. Choose Untitled (or any other folder that may have been created on the card)

The user data will now be transferred to the SD card.
