    Quickdraw Map no longer showing on my unit

    I've spent several months creating a detailed quickdraw map on my echomap 53dv chirp unit. I recently purchased a new 73cv chirp unit hooked up to a new GT23M-TM transducer. I took out the SD card from the 53dv unit and put it in the 73cv, and my QD map appears perfectly on the 73cv with no issues. However, when I put that SD card back into the 53dv, the quickdraw map no longer shows up on that unit, and I get the following message on the screen:


    Any idea why it shows up on my 73cv and no longer the 53dv? I thought I could use the same card(w/ the stored QD map) to swap between two echomap chirp units?

    I'll be interested in the answer myself. I have a 32g in each of my 93's so I've never bothered to move them.

    There is a setting to toggle the quickdraw on and off in one of the menus.

    Maybe different software version issue?

    The raw data would/should remain the same even if the software changes; it's the interpretation of the data that varies. At least that's what I would've done..

    Please reply with what software versions are currently loaded on each unit.

    Thanks for the responses, I'll post pics of the software/map info for both units once I get back up to the lake house tomorrow.

    Be sure to make a backup of the quickdraw files on your computer. I have had memory cards go bad.

    So I updated the software on both units and that fixed it. My QD map now shows up on the 53dv. I went ahead and copied it to another sd card as a back up too. Thanks for the responses.
