Re: Hds gen 1

It should work. The Gen1 can read a 32gig and less card so no problem with your Navionics.
Maybe a bad card reader

Re: HDS Carbon 16 wont update

Is your msd card is less then 32gig? If so, download the update from your computer to the card; quite often there is some problem when you download by wifi, it’s not stable.

Re: Hook 7 issue

You need to put the sonar on: Standby; you can access to Standby by touching the power button and scroll to Standby. Once you reach destination you put the TM in the water and you just push power button.

Try to recalibrate and a bit farther from the TM. 99.9% of the time it's because of a magnetic field; don't forget that there is a compas inside.
