With Gen2 you don't need 2 cards. On each of the unit in the map menu you choose Navionics

anyone know whats going on or can get me through to the right people. I think i got a bad card cause i still have not been able to register my card to start using it. Even if i dont even plug the card into my pc it does all the same crap. installs naviservice then just sits at the processing screen. i've tried to register the card on 3 different computers with nthe same result each time allowing for a hour of more of the bs processing screen. I even tried doing it saying i dont know the product i have. When that happens it ditects me to install chartinstaller then im right back at square one installing naviservices then sitting on the processing page. im extremely feed up with the whole process.
FYI i bought the card monday from tacklewarehouse and tried using it entering into the SD slot on the pc and also using it with the adapter and yes the card is unlocked.

That did not work for me either. Did you try clearing your browser history? Worth a shot.Originally Posted by jasonG

Jason have you tried calling customer support to help get your issue resolved? I've never heard of an issue such as yours which makes me think it's most likely an easy fix.
IM me all your appropriate information and I'll forward you onto someone who can give you one on one help to resolve your issue and get you back on the water. I assure you it's an easy process done correctly and of course barring some sort of card malfunction. Pint generally the case but wil anything software/electronic related, it's always a possibility.
one thing you can always try is to see if the housing itself is bad. If so, simply borrow another housing from another Micro SD card and see if the system will detect the card. In my experience with any SD cards, if there's something that malfunctions is usually the housing.
Here's a link to a video where I opened, registered and downloaded maps to a new Navionics + card.
ARK Ranger and Billy W -
1. Shading should be the same between the cards.
2. FishnChip became available on the Lowrance 2.0 Update.
3. Updating cards should have no effect on shading options.
4. No, as long as you are networked, have the Lowrance 2.0 Update and set it to the appropriate setting, you only need one Navionics card.
5. Depending on when you're old card is from, there is the possibility that you were looking at a card that had contracted data or was seen as not entirely accurate and so wasn't included on the newer data. This is extremely rare but is possible. More likely that there is currently some SonarCharts being added to the lake and roadbeds have yet to be updated on the developing map.
6. Depth Offset is not yet available for use on Navionics cards viewed through Lowrance chart plotters however Navionics does have thus feature via their app.
I followed that vid to a T after the whole loading and calming seas stuff it just sits at processing every time. Ill pull my insight hd card and try that housing.
sent you my info

With my first lake download, I had to check the FishnChip box to get contour detail with my Navionics update card. Is this specific to the lake or something that has to be checked for all lakes?
Needs to be check to get the SonarCharts
Is SonarCharts and FishnChip the same thing?
Yep, you need to check FishNchip to get SonarCharts
Talked to navionics today. They couldn't figure it out. The case has moved up to IT. So it's a waiting game now

I have the 2.0 updates on my t12 and HDS 10-2. How to I check the Fishinchip. I just downloaded a lake on my new Nav+ card. It shows the area on the card when on line. I put in my unit and it will not read the card and the finshnchip view on my unit is dark and will not let you check it What did I do wrong. I went back to my card on line and tried to update the sonar. It said ups and error . try later. When I opened Navionics and went to up date/downloads and put my new card in my computer went wild with pop ups. Still does everytime I go back to it.
Now it tells me that I'm exceeding(or have exceeded) what the card will hold. It still only shows one area that's marked that was just one lake(Pickwick) Help!!!
Think the early week site crash caused a lot of problems. The only thing I can think of with these issues. Hopefully it gets resolved ASAP.
