I know that my GPS (H2Oc) is not the latest & greatest, but it is brand new (just out of the package), and I'm having a problem because it doesn't recognize a couple of used Navionics map cards that I'm considering purchasing.
I did my instruction manual and on-line due diligence, and followed the instructions for installing the cards and for checking to see whether the unit is recognizing the card and its information:
1--Press Menu once
2--Highlight Map Data and press Enter
3--Highlight Navionics Map Choice and press Enter
4--Select a section of a state where the lake is located and press Enter
5--Exit out of the Menus
Step 3 is as far as I get, because the only two choices that I see are the preloaded (factory loaded) ones: "Lowrance" and "Miami area," or something like that.
Before I give up and send the cards back to the seller, I'd like to be sure that I'm not omitting a step. It's my first GPS experience, so that's a real possibility. The cards are circa '02 and '04, I believe. The one marked "Nov. 2002" has 5 southern states and is also marked "HML241XL;" and the one marked "Dec. 2004" is also marked "HotMaps Premium West."
Thanks in advance for your help,
