Contour map help!

I have a LMS 520c, Some how I lost the Contour line maps on the lakes. Now it's just all one color with no lines.
I can't seen to find the right program to get them back.
Can someone walk me though this?
I set this a long time ago but now it seems I lost it . All WPTS are still there but just not the same without the contour map on there to.
I also seem to not get fish readings (arches) anymore. What is a goos setting for this. I don't know what I did but I did it HAHA!

Thanks!

Well, I found my old chip, The cheepy one

. Put it in and it showed roads on the map. Took it out. The roads went away. I then put back in my "hot maps premium west, SD/PRE-W3, VO1.19 512 MB.

So I guess My chip went Bad?

What a Bummer. Happened on the water.
Funny made me feel a little lost

The LMS 520 doesn't have much mapping in it to begin with. You normally need to use a map card to have decent information. You didn't get into good mapping in the units during that model class of product until you got into the hard drive units, like the LCX 38c HD for example.

I was getting plenty of contour lines with the hot maps chip I was using. It went away while on the water on my 1st trip back out..
I just found out after driving all the way to fresno that the chip is fine. Tested it on a unit at FW. So ...... Not sure what to do now. Wierd!

Wierd, It did not give options to change to Calif maps. Only gave two options of lowrance and another lowrance. Just got home and tried it again and it gave me the state options again. And working now.
I don't know whats up but at least it's working again

Thanks, but I got it done.
