    Will this work? Humminbird Helix 5 & Navionics

    Would this be compatible?

    I'm thinking it would be, but thought I would ask here first before I think about buying.

    As Wayne correctly advised, it will work, however, I would highly suggest getting a new card instead so you have an up to date card. For the next 5 days you can get a new Platinum card for $170, which you can update for free for a year. Navionics updates their maps with around 2000 updates a day, and since that card hasnt been updated in two years, there might be alot missing.

    However, if you just want a card to do basics, you should be good to go with that card in your unit.

    That card can be updated by renewing the Freshest Data subscription for $99. Just needs to be new enough to be the 16GB size to contain all the current maps plus Sonar Charts.
    Even then, after renewal, he can request a replacement card if that is the 8GB size from prior to 2013.

    While the sale is going on, a new one would be cheaper to have current data.
