I have a 385 CI Chartplotter since 2013, and I did not get a map card because Humminbird forgot the folks in Louisiana fish too and D"Arbonne that is on the American Crappie trail as well as other large Lakes have NOT been added to the list. I already had another 385 C chartplotter and could make any waypoint you wanted --- But not with the 385 CI -- Without a map card it will store nothing.. I had a tree limb fall and take out the unit with all the waypoints --- others have said it should still record them ... I dont know if an update would fix the issue .. the newer Platinum card will not work with the older 385 CI --- I AM looking at now buying a new unit with Side imaging but see all the people having nothing but trouble ,,, With Retirement Money no longer grows on trees, and I can not make a mistake
