    saving more than one lakemaster chart to a sd card.

    how do you save more than one chart on a sd card used for chart select? i was told you can only use one map per card but in the book it says you can save more than one.

    Save LakeMaster Charts to One SD Card:
    You can save more than one downloaded LakeMaster chart to an SD or microSD
    card.

    thanks

    From the Humminbird website:

    If your Humminbird model supports Multilayer, you can download more than one lake and multiple layers per lake to the same SD card

    If your Humminbird model does not support Multilayer, you can only download the High Definition Contour layer for one lake to one SD card

    One word of caution if you plan to use smartstrike.
    Delete any previously loaded maps and reload them all from scratch whenever you decide to add additional maps via chartselect onto the SD card.
    I ran into a problem when incrementally adding maps to the same SD card over time.
    When I used Smartstrike, my results would appear on a completely different lake than the one I selected.
    I had the maps/SS loaded the same way onto two identical SD cards and both of my Helix units exhibited the same behavior.
    Deleting all the maps then reloading fixed it.
    Caution do not reformat the SD card since the encryption file must be preserved.

    Cheers,
