Anyone have a hard time dealing with a micro SD card? Can't believe how tiny these things are. They are so small that I need to get tweezers to pull it out of a Helix.

I have that problem with a regular SD.
I asked the same question and had the same concern.
I was told lowrance switch because of all the trouble they have had with manufacturers and standard SD card holder/readers. Ever had an SD card not eject correctly? Lowrance has had less issues with Micro. This smaller size also allows for a double reader on all HDS locators not just the 9 and 12.
Will be a pain for me as well. All my cards are standard size. Might just keep a gen2 around to read cards! LOL
When I bought the card it looked small in the package. When I took it out I laughed at how small it was. It's less than half the size of a standard first class stamp! Heaven forbid I drop it in the gravel driveway climbing out of the boat, it will be lost forever.

Pelican 0915 Memory Card Case
That's a great idea. Never thought about a special box for them. That way I can put them in the box in throat and not have to worry about dropping them while climbing out of the boat. Thanks.
Those Pelican cases are very nice! The Helix card access is a tight fit especially with my old fat fingers
they are also too small to put any identification on them.
I don't like them either ... Too small ...
:dono

why are yall taking the cards out so much? just curios
To import/export waypoints, export recordings and snap shots. I have 2 Chart Select cards that need swapped when fishing the respective bodies of water. When ice fishing I would snap shot a good spot and take the coordinates from the snap shot and include them in my fishing journal
I change software versions about as often as I change my shorts....
Experimenting must be done ...:yikes

These are cheaper and work well. Amazon.com: Memory Card Carrying Case - Black (Generic): Computers & Accessories
I use plastic containers that come with multiple packs of diaphragm turkey calls.
Pretty soon, we won't have a choice Rickie...Quote:
