Member Posts: 1040 Location: Stevens Point, WI For those of you that have bought the new Lowrance HDS units, in order for them to read the Navionics chips, you must do this update that will allow the unit to read the chip. Lowrance has a warning when updating: Warning: This update is 310MB, and can take a very long time to download on some internet connections. For example, estimated download time for dialup 56K modems is 12-14 hours, some DSL and cable internet is 30 minutes to 1 hour, and high-speed cable internet is 4-5 minutes. If you have a slower connection, a slightly smaller 190MB version is available. This version will work for Lake Insight, Nautic Insight, Insight USA or Enhanced Background versions sold in the United States and Canada. It does include the Navionics® background chart necessary to run Navionics® cards but does not include Navionics® Platinum+ demonstration charts. If you experience problems with the online installer, please first try to download the stand-alone installer for your operating system listed just below the online installer. If you continue to have issues downloading the update installer, please select the next solution based on your location: You can find the updates at this link: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Downloads/Product-Software-Updates/ Here are the individual links to each of the units: HDS-10: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Marine/HDS-High-Definition-Syst...

The note below is directly from the Lowrance installation instructions and needs to be communicated to everyone to aviod bogging down the system as a result of unncessary traffic! Notes: You need only download an HDS update once - this same update can be re-used to update all HDS products. iceman35 Posted 5/16/2009 5:53 AM (#81455 - in reply to #81450) Subject: Re: Lowrance HDS-Must Have Update for Navnionics Chips! Member Posts: 650 great info thanks... I got the BBC sonar/ GPS moderator one town over and he'll do any updates for me... basemap is pretty good on my HDS -8... Sonar is real good, keeping me busy enough, haven't even thought about the GPS part yet...
