Your specific question's answer is on page 7 of the manual:

C-MAP™ chart cards have chart details required for navigating in a particular region. When a chart card is plugged in, the extra details automatically appear on the TRACKER chart display.

The TRACKER can use NT, NT+ and NT-MAX cards.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the TRACKER memory and allows the data to be transferred to another TRACKER easily (see section 14).

Note: The older 5 volt user cards are not supported.

Just got the same one and same problem, I also have a 5505i and is only zooms in close when i put in the c-map chip and it zooms close in the chip area only?? now i have a chip for the 5500i and it zoomed in but only on the Texas part of the map, that is the chip it came with, but i live in Canada. Be carefull the c-map max chip for the 5505i is not compatible with the 5500i it needs c-map nt+ chip. 5500 chip is black 5505 is orange

Its water ingress causing a short in the high voltage wiring PCB.

Open the unit with a 1.5mm allen key, unscrew the power/data cable sockets with a spanner and GPS antenna inlet with an 8mm socket (NA to i models) .

Where water has arced there will be burning black on the green PCB evident, cut the PCB wire and remove the section around the burn.
solder a new wire to bypass the short.
Dry the unit and seal with silicone to prevent re occurrence.

Its a 2 hour repair requiring a high DIY soldering standard but off set it against the time it will take to reload you waypoints in a new plotter , its well worth the trouble.

my navman trackfish 6600 gps is aquireing and will not give a gps fix ,I have also had the screen ghosting when I enlarge the area with no detail, the unit is 4 years old .

Unfortunately, the maps for this device are not free. If he didn't send you the USA map you will probably have to buy it on SD card from their website. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I need a manual for a Navman Trackfish 6600. Can i download it or where can i purchase it from?-

I have bought a boat with a Navman Tracker 5600 and I want to buy a C-Map card for it for my region, I have been told I need "the old black type" but no one can tell me what the card or type of card is called. I also need to find out where I can purchase onr from. Thanks to anyone that can help in anticipation, regards Trev T
