My buddy got a new boat and took the Lakemaster cards out of his old one. He had a gen 2 and a gen 3 cards in his units. On his new boat he has 2 gen 3 units and only the gen 3 card works in both units. Is this right; is the gen 2 card compatible with only gen 2 units?
Is the issue the size of the memory card or the unit won't read the mapping?

The map gen 3 map card works in both of his new units but the gen 2 card won't work in either.
The card VERSION number should work in all Helix generations unless it is corrupted by writing data to it.

Thanks Wayne. Is there a way to check for a corrupted card? I'm sure he didn't try to write to the card.
I also backed up the waypoints on a card on his old boat and couldn't install it in one of his units. I had to make another card from the unit they were on and install that one in the other unit that he just got Thursday. Is it common for a card to become corrupted just trying to export and import? They are both 16 gb cards so they're plenty big.
