Lowrance update

[Reelist]

Apex, was hoping you may also have some insight. Am I on the right track by first downloading latest update onto an micro SD card? If so, where do I go from there? Thanks in advance!

Buskid, I believe those pink lines on the screenshot are the MLPA's

the lines on the photo I posted are Deans points and tracks I changed them to pink look closely and you will see the way-point squares.
I get off at 7 pm tonite and I'm Heading to the boat tonite after work so i will turn off all my tracks and points and see.

nope the mlpa's are not there so I went to update my charts and the updater tells me my subscription is expired. WTF I bought it in march of this year. so I sent a email to customer support and we will see.

Sometimes navionics customer service is a little shaky in my experiences.

Good luck!

your gold expired 12 months after you bought it correct?

[YakDout]

The MLPA's should be on gold as well though

[YakDout]

Yes it took 12 months to expire

So I contacted navionics and well to put it kindly the suck wet monkey nuts, when it comes to customer service. They insisted that the gold card is not a navionics card even though it contains their data. WTF? So I got in touch with Lowrance. After a few Emails to and from Greg Hunter problem solved with a vengeance. Thanks to Greg and the team at Lowrance.

Yes. Go to the main screen. Hit menu, then charts, then change from the navionics version to the fish and chips charts. Look again and you should have the MLPA's

Hmm. I only get 4 options:

Lowrance
Navionics Coastal
Navionics Canada
Navionics Inland


Do I have the wrong card?

I purchased the Elite 7 HDI Gold

Is your card plugged in? It should give you an option for fish n chips if you really have a navionics gold chip.

Ya the card is plugged in

[YakDout]

Your version of gold is different than mine. Try inland or coastal and check again for MLPA's
