I HAVEN’T found anything after a long search or is there actually no manual for Navigraph Charts? Because then I wouldn’t have to ask a **stupid question** about the not working moving map on my Mac OSX. **I regret the purchase.** ---

Hi, Sorry to hear that. For a general guide please FAQ here: [FAQ - Introduction to Navigraph Charts](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-introduction-to-navigraph-charts/75) On your simulator computer you need to install the Charts+Simlink bundle, available at [Navigraph](https://navigraph.com/account/downloads/charts) Sign in to Simlink using your Navigraph. Sign in to a Charts app using the same account. Start your simulator. Moving Maps should now work. Let us know how you get along. Regards, Stephen ---

Hi, Download “Charts for macOS”. It is contains Simlink too. Regards, Stephen ---

Installed and authorized. But still no connection. Does the launch order of the apps XP11, Navigraph Charts and Simlink play a role? ---

Just a small hint: The movingmap function of **Little Navmap** works fine. And so does **iGMapHD** from FSWidgets. But if I already use Navigraph Charts I would use the Movingmap function in the same program. One app less in memory. ---

First launch Simlink. Then launch X-Plane 11. Finally launch the Charts app. If no success - In the macos Simlink tray icon select Simlink Status, and make a screenshot of this window. Then paste it here. Regards, Stephen ---

Now the connection works: ![pluginstall](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/2X/9/9855bb57146cf0084033510bfa747b9b1e95522f.jpeg) The plugin was not installed or enabled. I assumed that this is done with the installation of Simlink.pkg. But now it is running. Thanks for the help. Regards, Marcel ---
