Fisherpete Posted March 21, 2015 Report Share Posted March 21, 2015 I have an older Navionics chip - which is standard SD card size Hotmaps Premium Canada SD/PREM-C4 VO1.19 My Lowrance units all take micro-SD cards - do I have any options for exchanging my older chip for a micro-SD version? Either through Navionics or a retail store? Or does anywhere accept trade in towards a new chip? Can this chip be updated as well to reflect most current available map data?

mattaw Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Pete, I would just try calling Navionics USA and asking, they should be able to tell you what the standard protocol is, and maybe you can ask for a favor if it's outside of it. You never know if you don't ask!

Freshtrax Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Can you not just save all the files onto your computer. Then put the micro in a blackberry ( or other phone) Plug it into your computer and save the files to the micro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barneybass Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Navionics sells and update that is about $99. I don't think it's available for all order cards so it depends on how old the card is. If you have a USB sd card reader you can plug it into your computer and go to the Navionics site and see if can recognize your card. It will give you the options of upgrade if it's available. If not you'll need to get a new card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdH20guy Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 do the navionics cards fit directly in the computer if you have an sd slot just to 'look around' at the different lakes without necessarily updating anything or do u need a special card reader? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miller Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 You can now actually look at the maps right on their website by clicking the webapp bar along the top, and if you zoom in and press the sonarcharts icon which kinda looks like a volume icon then you'll get the 1ft contours and some lakes that had no detail before will now.
