I called Lowrance and they told me how to get the update. Not as simple as
just putting in your serial number and downloading the update, but not to
difficult either. You just order it online with your Credit Card, and then
fax them the receipt from the purchase of the unit, the confirmation number
from the download of the new database, and the serial number of the unit.
Upon receipt of this information they will credit your card back the cost
of the database update.

Yep, that's how it works.


I can then encrypt the database on the 256MB card. But here is the catch,
the Airmap has known issues with some brands of SD cards and they recommend
using SanDisk brand. The SD card I bought was not SanDisk, but seems to
work just fine. I will try it tonight after calling their tech support
about my SD card brand.

Yes, that's a problem. However, if your unit has read the card succesfully
already, it will in all likelyhood work with the Jepp data on it, too.


By the way... Manuals are for sissies. :-)


Absolutely! ;-)
