After a discussion with a fellow Ausfish member, I contacted Navionics, to get some answers from the horses mouth.
Below is how it went down, read from the bottom firstly, so as to see my questions to Navionics.

David,
You should never copy anything to the Navionics card. Please use a blank card and yes, you can use the Navionics card reader.

Dear Sirs, I have a Navionics gold chart, used in a Raymarine chartplotter 435.
The Archive instructions in the 435 handbook, indicate to use the Navionics Gold CF card, to archive routes, waypoints, and tracks, so they can be reinstalled at a later date. It actually indicates that the memory of the 435 unit ,would be cleared, after performing the action.
From your point of view, is it OK to use the Gold card for that purpose, or should a blank CF card be used? I want to back up my waypoints etc.
Further, can I use the Navionics card reader, to down load waypoints from my computer, using a normal CF card, rather than buying another card reader.?
Just to clarify - DON'T use the "archive" options on the plotter itself to save waypoints and routes to your card? I've done this numerous times to read them into NavPlanner on my PC without any issues and save new ones created on NavPlanner back onto the card using the Navionics USB card reader.
Cam H,
Yep, what you are doing, is what the book says.
Navionics say, dont do it.
Go figure.
You use a blank card. I have those instructions somewhere. I will see if I can find them.
Raymarine say, just substitute a blank card, in place of the Navionics Chart card.
Makes sense, as that is what was explained to me,in the first instance.
