Navionics Gold charts will not display on a Lowrance Endura

Its not the scale,, its the settings.. are you using a Navionics card or the built in map... there is a setting to tell the unit which one you are using.. the navionics card needs to be told what section of the USA you are in. Sometimes mine decides I am in North Georgia..(never been fishing there!?).. I have to set it back to sweet home Alabama.
Hope this helps..

With your card in your unit follow these steps it should accomplish letting you view your map data.
push MENU twice
Highlight CHART push ENTER
Highlight CHART DATA push ENTER
Highlight LOWRANCE push ENTER.
You will note there is an option for Lowrance and Navionics, if you select Navionics you will see a distinct difference in the way the base map displays on your unit.
Hope this helps.

In your menu under CHARTS there is a choice for either LOWRANCE or NAVIONICS. Select NAVIONICS and you should be able to see your chart maps.

Your running an elite 7. It's not compatible with navionics platinum.

You most likely need to change the map data displayed.
The elite series won't change for you automatically. Lowrance Elite 7 HDI Hybrid Dual Imaging Fishfinder Chartplotter
here is a link to the elite 7 page where you can download a pdf owners manual.
go to the gps/map page on your unit. Find "chart data" on your menu.
select nation is as your chart data. Then you will be ableaving to see your map data.

Hello bidder42955. I suggest you check your controls for a brightness or contrast adjustment. An X-ray should not have an effect on the LCD display.

take the chip out and put it back in why the unit is on

Hi!
You NEED to have a gps lock in order for the card to show it's true potential.
Also check in the menu for a setting that says "Map detail" and change it to all available. It could be the setting is on a lesser choice (like the internal mapping and not the new sd card)
Hope this helps!

Make sure that you go into MAP data and select this chart as the map info. You might just be using the internal base map right now.

It depends on what model you have. Most chartplotters require a chip with regional chart data. Most Lowrance models use Navionics charts. If you have a chip in the GPS, go to the map screen and press the "menu" key. Somewhere in the map setup menu will be a field where you can specify which chart to display.

For example a Navionics gold chart may cover the entire east coast, but it is broken down into a few sub regions. If you are boating in New England you would select the sub region labeled Northeast. Some of the earlier models didn't name the regions, they used model number for each region such as "XL904G". In that case your best bet is to try each one until you can view the charts in your area. Zoom in to 1/2 mile scale to make sure you can see charts.

If you have done all that and still can't see the chart details, there is also a setting in the map setup menu that allows you to set the level of detail. Make sure it is set to normal, more, or most. If you see a declutter setting on the setup menu, try setting it to off.
