Yes, all Lowrance products will use and display Navionics map data.

Here is a link to the navionics compatability page so you can see which map cards will work in your unit.

Try that address. Don't know much about these units but seems that might be the place to start

looking for mmc gold ma card for matrix 67 hummingbird unit one with mas of east coast and bays... and one blank for down loading soft ware. thanks [email protected]

i have lost my maps on the gold card Australia e&n i have not taken the card out of my lowrance gps sounder lms 339c since new some three & a half years can they be restored i have had no luck trying to contact navionics australia

I am guessing that the card you are using is a NAVIONICS chart? There have been some Lowrance units that were made around the same time that have had problems recognizing a Navionics chart right from power up.

Make sure the LMS-332 has the latest firmware version which can be downloaded from http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Marine/Full-Size-SonarGPS-Chartplotter-Combos/LMS-332C/Downloads/LMS-332C-Software-Update/

If the update doesn't help, this is going to be a compatibility problem with the LMS-332 and that particular card. You will need to replace the card or upgrade to a newer unit...but probably can just get used to removing and replacing the card when you turn the unit on.

I had the same problem with my handheld Lowrance Hunt C. After installing the card and locking it in place, I had to slide the card "out" toward the locking mechanism. It barely moves, but worked after that. Whenever I load the card, I now slide it out or wiggle it and it works every time.

Dependant on the type of unit you have, you can order MMC or SD cards from several companies. I have used Navionics with much success. They have a buy-back program where you can get a discount towards the latest cards when you turn in your old ones. Also, if you have a memory card device, you can access tons of lakes directly from the Lowrance website. Then save to acard and load into you boats unit.

I can understand your problem, this problem arises with new SD card.

So, please copy Navione folder to memory card root directory, enter the directory, use Notepad to open Loader.ini to edit, enter your correct path, for example: \ Storage Card \ NaviOne \ NaviOne.exe save you, run to enter Loader.exe navigation procedures.

I'm sure it will work out for you. The error message shows similar indication. So, do it and load your route installed. It will work out surely.

Raytech Navigator software reads navionics cards and even comes with a card reader for an sd card. It also works on windows xp. Navionics also sells PC software to view their cards.

Here's a Raytech link:
