i have not checked in a couple of years but it use to be that if you try to copy it you screw up the original too

however, if you have their mapcreate program

you can put parts of it on a sd card and use it, I think you can make up to 3 of them

They cant be copied. If you try and place it in the Computer it will be erased. If you have a program like , Map Create, Fugawi, or Nav Planner you can view and make you rown. I have the softare from Doc Sampson for creating my own 3D type cards that are better then the Navionics, Takes alot of work but very rewarding in the end. I now have cards for just about every lake I go on. I have a ton of SD cards but it keeps everything organized. Lowrance has a program on their site or organizing waypoints and other stuff for free if you want. Try and find Map Create for Canada if you can.
