just a card in the slot.
Should not be a card with NVB.
Don't make me smack you Torch. The adults are talking.
NVB is the pre-loaded mapping. Navionics is the card you insert.
I'm thinking the 997 I just got may just have NVB since there was a seperate manual for cartography. Just no markings on the unit that I can tell for sure. If I had a boat, I'd hook it up and see, but I can't so I ain't.

Send it to me, I'll hook it up and let you know. I may have to keep it for a while to be sure though.
Time to visit your friendly boat mechanic. You know he's willing to take you fishing for a preview. ;)Quote:

4 days, counting today to get it done my man. Then its' beatdown time for you on Ross Barnett

and it's getting here real quick. If you don;t have it ready and can't fish the Fj, just means you be skeert
Wannabe the answer to the original question is. The separate Cartography book ships with every unit including the ones without Nav Bundle. The box on the ones with the bundle are clearly marked NAV.
So you didn't get lucky and get the Nav model by accident.
You gewb. You don't needs no boat to try it. Use your handy dandy 12vdc power supply and hook it up in the house. You can lay it in your lap and play with it all night long. Why you can even hook your gps puck to it and figure out where your recliner is. That way when you ain't catchin any fish it I'll lead you back home. And that's the way mine was. No markings on the unit, just a cart manual. Kinda useless.Quote:

Durn, I was pretty sure one of the guys would take some of those sentences out of context and run with it. Seems such a shame to waste all that potential. :( And I've declared myself as behaving until my order from Sat arrives. Hurry, Sat, I'm not sure I can hold out that long!!!!!Quote:

There. Now you know why I don't have a power supply I can run inside the house. It's a matter of self preservation.

I can relate to that answer. We just put Hardwood floors and granite countertops in which meant the bathroom and kitchen needed painting. After this minor project was almost complete a tile backsplash was in order fer the kitchen. After dining area was painted, the livin room just looked horrible (to her and the painter) so we lookin at movin all the furniture back out that we just bought and moved in after the hardwood was done. Course you could do like me and do a really weak job at the dusting bout 3 times in a row and she'll quit askin you to do it. I aunt had to paint no more since I painted the window panes in kitchen door instead of taping them up. After bout an hour of her scraping paint she told me I would never get to paint again.
Painting and scraping is WOMAN'S work. No man can do THAT right. She should have known you wouldn't make the grade before you started!!! It's in the manual. First chapter. :DQuote:

I've often told her that when she gets fed up enough with me and divorces me, my next wife is gonna be extra stewpit. I'm tired of smart girls.
