Well now isn't that special.... So I am forced to buy the updated
database so I can have it on my larger chip?


Basically. Its their copy protection. It verifies the serial number
on the sd card.

*shrug*

For now, just use the smaller chip, then when you update the database,
256ers should be even cheeper What else were you going to put on it?



Well I went and purchased a new 256MB SD last night and found out the
hard way that I can't move the database... Kinda bummed about that
because it is a pain to keep removing the back of the unit to change
the SD card from Aviation to Land databases.

Maybe I will call the people at Lowrance and tell them I just got my
unit and the database is dated from November, I want a free updated
database... Take that database and put it on my 256MB chip. That
would make me happy.... Yeah... That is what I will do tomorrow...
