LMS 480 not reading Navonics card

Post by Bruce Theriot »

I am having trouble getting my LMS 480 graph to read my Navonics Premium West card. What can I do to rectify this situation? Thanks in advance for your help.

Since the LMS 480 is a much older model, my guess is that the Navionics card is too big for the unit to read. 10 years ago a 500 MB card was big, now you can't find any smaller than 2 or 4 Gigs. The older units could only read smaller cards that were the standard for that era.

Ken, thanks for the input. The card came with the unit so i figured it would work however your message made me do a compatibility check and this card does not work in a 480. Don't know why I didn't do that first. lol Thanks Bruce
