Navionics or other Chip Installation

Over the last week I have had several pms from members wanting to know why their Lowrance unit was not showing better detail when they installed the Navionics chip or another SD chip they wanted to use..

For everyone that is having problems just follow the following instructions and it should work fine.

Slide the tray out.

Insert the chip with the connections facing up and close the tray

Press the Menu button twice(This will open an expanded menu screen)

Using the down arrow button select "System Set Up"(Press Enter)

Using the down arrow button select "Transfer My Data"(Press Enter)

The "Transfer Data Which Way" screen will appear

To transfer data from an MMC card to your unit select the "Load" button on the "Transfer Data Which Way" screen.

A "User Data Screen" will appear

Click on the open button and your files will appear.

Choose one or all the files listed and select "Load Data"

Using the down arrow button press enter

If done correctly you will receive a message that states "User Data Successfully Loaded"

If this is the first time to run a chip:

Press Menu, Menu

Highlight "Map Data"

Highlight "Navionics"

This will let your unit know that a Chip is being used.

Do not attempt to copy one of these chips on your computer. It has a security feature that will render it useless.
