The free enhanced maps were brought up by OzarkAngler back on page 48, and there is one lake in Florida that I’m particularly interested in. The problem is, once I download the .at5 file I don’t know what to do with it. I tried placing it on a micro-SD card and sticking it in the unit and powering it on, but it didn’t seem to make any difference for the lake in question. There were no new chart source options to switch to and seemingly no way to manually load it from the card like a waypoint, route or trail. Has anyone used these successfully and if so, mind sharing how you did it?
Go to page 34 of the manual and youwill see how to select from "Lowrance" to "Navionics" map sourcing. Basically you push MENU and then select CHART if I remember correctly.

Question is, I have downloaded the enhanced map for my home lake from Lowrance and I cannot see any enhancement at all over the factory map that came with the unit. It is supposed to have the 1ft depth contours like my Navionics app for my Android phone. I'd really like to have the enhanced countours on the graph so I don't have to use my phone and my Elite 5.

Does anyone know why this is not working even though I have selected "Navionics" and "Lowrance and there is zero difference between the two???
