    You need to check which map your 898 is reading.....i think it is in the set up menu

    Push "Power" button...
    While welcome screen is showing.. Push "menu" button...
    From the 3 choices ... Cursor down to "Status"...cursor right to open "Status" page...

    At the bottom right of the "Status" page.. It should say what is in "Card slot 1" and "Card slot 2"...

    If it is not recognizing the card....make sure the card is all the way in... It will slide in easily until it gets to the "spring loaded catch" in the slot.. Then it has to be pushed in against the "spring loaded catch" a little more to "catch"...

    You could also try testing your map card in a unit that has a working map card in it. Maybe swap map cards with a fishing buddy just to test. It could be that something is now wrong with the map card…
