Thread: dual card question

on a HB when you have dual card slots can you record and use a map card at the same time? Will the unit know which slot to record to?

My experience is yes, and yes.. Just for my own keeping it straight I always have my map card in the right slot.

Are you talkin about a Navionics card? I didnt know they had a lock on them.

You boys are confusin me. I dont know too much about this computer stuff, but I thought if a card was locked you couldnt record on it or read it? I remember puttin one ina lowrance to take pics and it said card locked.

oh wilbur on some HB units they have dual card slots. You can put in a reg sd card and a map card--that way when you mark a waypoint or record it will go on the reg sd card and still run the map card. You always want to have your map card locked or else you can mess it up if you save waypoints and stuff. all sd cards have a little switch on the left side of them--down is locked and up is unlocked.

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