Thread: dual card question

Just looking at the 150 page manual that I printed out from the HB site and it shows you can program your unit to make either slot your map card slot. The right one is factory default for the map card it seems. hmmmmmmm

yep--and I think if you have it set on Auto it will find it--least I think that is the case but could be wrong.

Your right. I just looked at my card and it does have a switch on it. I never knew it was there. Thanks

anything for you Wilbur--glad I helped

The way I understand the chart slot settings...(someone correct me if I'm wrong)...

If using 1 map card and 1 blank card:
* "Auto" will find the map card
* choosing "Right" or "Left" will force the unit to look to that chosen card slot for map data to display

If using 2 map cards:
* "Auto" will use detail from both map cards
* choosing "Right" or "Left" will force the unit to look to that chosen card slot for map data to display

I have not tried 2 map cards at the same time to confirm this...

Very cool--was not sure exactly. Don't see me using two map cards for 150ea plus another 75 each year after for updaing

I agree... A little expensive for me too...

I could see this being used by someone who happens to fish different lakes entailed on 2 different region cards of Navionics maps...

They could insert both map cards and then just change the setting to the map card for the region they were fishing that day...

Or maybe someone that likes some aspects of their Navionics region card "and" some aspects of their "Lakemaster" region card... And then just change the setting for the map card they wanted to view at that time...

Options from HB.... Thanks HB...!!

I have just read info from Doud V that states if 2 map cards are used in the "Auto" selection - the unit will look to the left slot first for map data...

Blue highlighted statement above....I boobooed...
