I mean, really over the top of some of mine, because I gave them to him when I was crayfishing! I was a bit surprised that there were no "version" issues, and that it didn't wipe my(backed-up) marks when it loaded, but there you go. Anyway, I backed up my Elite-7, stuck his card in, downloaded, and there were his marks, over the top of mine.

then it dawned on me that the card was probably so old that it was suffering from the Y2K affliction! Transferred them to a micro SD. If you find yourself, as I did, with a Lowrance HDS gen2 device not booting and/or not reading Navionics SD card at boot and/or not loading software updates (.upd) files from SD cards it might be that you have V2.0 firmware installed. I went into the menu, found file transfer,did it to a new file name,still showing last updated. Had a tiny Data.USR file,, on an SD (MMC) card, apparently last updated. I said I thought Lowrance had stuck with one format, wasn't sure,so he gave me his memory card. He was becoming resigned to getting a new unit, wanted to know if his marks would move over. Couldn't help him as I had passed all mine on to good homes over the years. The old bloke up the road came to see me the other day, asking if I had a spare GPS aerial, as the external on his 90's Lowrance X-15 had died. I've had to go through the pain of trying to shift marks from one format to another,or even from an earlier plotter to a later one of the same make ,quite a few times over the years.Or got caught in a complete dead end like the Sitex I bought less than a decade ago. The all-new HOOK Reveal makes fishing easier, delivering powerful performance with proven fish-finding tools including, Autotuning Sonar, DownScan Imaging and now FishReveal, which makes fish easier to see by combining the benefits of Lowrance CHIRP. I'm not sure if there's any warranty left. HOOK Reveal 9 50/200kHz HDI with C-MAP Contour+ Card. Just having a vent before I start thinking about what to replace it with. That was sorted out under warranty but that it took two months die to a stocktake that led to my claim being lost for six weeks. Very pissed off as I have some time off to go fishing the next couple of days and suddenly have no sounder The first Elite 5 let me down when I was in the NT at the start of billfish season, also when I had some time off to go fishing.

I never had a problem with the little black and white Humminbird unit I had prior to updating - until the head unit fell off the top shelf on to concrete ! It has it's own wiring direct to the battery via a Blue Seas switch panel, in a tinny so it's exposed to the spray and splashes. Lowrance HDS expands your world of high-detail, high-definition 3D charting options with total compatibility for all 2009 (and earlier) Navionics chartcards.

The boot up screen flashes up for a couple of seconds and then nothing. HDS Charting Options Go All-Platinum Your trusted favorites in Lowrance 2D mapping choices, like Fishing Hot Spots PRO and LakeMaster ProMaps are fully functional with HDS. Two years later and with only a few trips under its belt, it has given up the ghost, won't boot up, soft or hard reset doesn't work. It comes with a broadband CHIRP sonar with DownScan as well as a pretty potent. However, it is a very complicated unit, so we do not recommend it to beginners without ample experience with fish finders or sonars in general.

Lowrance Elite-7 CHIRP is a medium-sized fish finder/chartplotter combo that provides excellent value for the price.
