South Louisiana.....some places would be Toledo Bend Reservoir, Pearl River, Tickfaw River, Amite River, Lake Cataouatche. I even just hooked up to WiFi and did the latest update for the system. I was able to find a friend with the LA One card and was able to view satellite imagery on his card. I am thinking that if I can read the imagery on his card, which is a different card altogether, I should be able to read satellite imagery on any card.
have the navionics Platinum and generally pleased with the chart, and sonar.
i update about 1x per month.
use the photo overlay satellite imaging mostly, just curious as to if anyone knows when this is updated by Navionics?
thanks

I will check that next TuesdayOriginally Posted by dshirley24
Disregard checking on that for me, but I have found out what the problem is. I was sold the Navionics Platinum Plus Hot Map card, which does not have satellite imagery on it. Thanks for all your help in this matter.
I have an Elite9 TI2 and I just purchased the Navionics + regions card. I cannot get the zoom to get closer than 50ft and sometimes only 100ft. Is there a setting I need to adjust?
No setting. 50ft is the norm
No, the norm for full zoom is 20 ft to an inch and range rings of 25 ft.
Your almost right
Full zoom is 20ft and range rings is also 20ft.
Did you find that somewhere or did you confirm it on your fishfinder?
On my HDS
OK, thanks for looking!
FYI, I spent 2.5 hours on hold and then speaking with Lowrance technical assistance. They were not successful in fixing my zoom-in issue and are asking me to send it in for repairs.
I finally figured out it is the Navionics card that is preventing me from zooming in to 20 ft per inch.
I also have a C-Map card and it zooms all the way to 20 ft per inch without a problem.
I'm really disappointed in Navionics.
I have new hds12&7 live units and a navionics chart card thatI was using with my old units that died. First, if I put the card in the 12, which is Ethernet connected to the 7, will the 7 also use these charts? Second, can you download the charts to the unit so that you don’t have to leave the card in?
No
What features do I lose if I don’t renew “Freshest data”? Does the card basically become no better than the Lowrance basemap? Or does it retain a reasonable chart with depth contour lines? I can’t seem to find out exactly on the Navionics website. Hotmaps Platinum west card. Thanks

In a short answer you are able to still use youre card. Same nautical chart and sonarchart.
You loose: daly updates, autorouting dock to dock, fishing range, sonarchart density and sonarchart Live
One more question Andre. When I go to update my Hot Maps Platinum card it (chart installer) by default only checks the “nautical charts” not sonar charts/community edits or either overlay (satellite or relief shading). Do I need to update all each time or does the chart installer by default only check what “needs” updating?
also, what is the difference between satellite overlay with sonar chart shading and relief shading? Since you can only download one or the other?
Thanks in advance.

With nautical chart you always should always download the sonarchart layer because a lot of time those are from logs from the community users.
There is no update on the satellite view
For the sonarchart shading take a look at this video:
We purchased a MY late last year. We have both a Garmin and a Lowrance Gen2 Touch HDS-9, which is great for redundancy and multiple viewing options.
The latest version of the Lowrance Gen2 that was installed is dated 06/12/2014. We are wondering if there is possibly a later version available.
