Location: Menasha, WI | Hafe, I don't believe you can download maps with contour lines onto the MMC cards, just waypoints. I have the same system for my Ifinder Pro and I played with it extensively and never found a way to save anything other than waypoints.
To get contour maps you'll probably need to purchase the Navionics MMC Cards to run in your graph. |

| VIKING....I have the Navionics Gold Chip,but when I try to use it in my I-Finder,it doesn't work?It is fine in my graph though.Must be some hardware glitch,that makes it uncompatible with the I-Finder......hafe |

Location: Menasha, WI | You need the "Ifinder Pro" to run the Navionics, the "Ifinder" doesn't have enough memory to run the Navionics. |

Location: Laona, Wisconsin | I have made up maps with MapCreate for lakes that do not have Navionics maps for them. It only gives you a rough outline of the lake without contour lines and then you can make waypoints for those maps when out on the water. At least then you have an idea of what the lake looks like on your GPS. It is better than just a blank screen with way points on it. You have to create a border for the section of the state you are in by clicking on the CREATE BORDER button and then click and drag to select the area you want to make a map of. I made one for the northern part and one for the southern part of Wisconsin. That way whenever I am going to fish a lake in either section I can save that map to my MMC card and use it in my X15. I also made up a lot of other maps that I can put on the MMC card for the UP of Michigan. It is not hard to do if you follow the instructions in the MapCreate instruction manual. I have seperate MMC cards where I save the maps and waypoints on to use for each map. That way I can keep the waypoints all seperate from other maps and do not have to make so many names up for each individual waypoint. Instead of just using the units waypoint identification number, I give them new names. I use the first letter of the lake I am fishing on and then start with the number 1 and go up from there for that lake. You can send me a personal e-mail if you need more help: [email protected]
I also make a hard copy of all my waypoints just in case they get wiped off of the GPS. |

| Do you guy's know on a LMS-480 if you can install a memory card and copy waypoints allready stored in the unit to the card and then take the card and install the waypoints in another lms-480? |
