Barto Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Hi All, Does anyone have a relatively recent card for our local area they want to part with as I am buying my new Fishfinder / plotter in the near future. Cash waiting. Barto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coddy Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 How about this on EBay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Navionics-Gold-/...=item4164aec0d6 Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan F (bathclaret) Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's a CompactFlash format card Dave, not SD. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Barto It might help if you say which Plotter you're buying, people would then know what format you require. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncan Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's a CompactFlash format card Dave, not SD. Duncan true - but then again a number of plotter use CF rather than SD....... as someone's pointed out it would help to know which plotter! from memory Navionics used to have issues being used in more than one plotter, or maybe more than 2, is this no longer an issue?

Duncan F (bathclaret) Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 true - but then again a number of plotter use CF rather than SD....... Absolutely, but Barto said he's buying a new unit and surely it's less likely any of those will still use CF, which is a "dead" format to all intents now. I think new Garmin and Lowrance units (2 most likely options for a combined plotter/ff) all use SD cards. Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Martin Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I don't think Navionics are compatible with Garmin Navionics compatibility spreadsheet Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think new Garmin and Lowrance units (2 most likely options for a combined plotter/ff) all use SD cards. Duncan fair point, although I don't think Garmin have used Navionics cartographu since they ported it to their G-Charts many many years ago. Come to think about it a new Lowrance plotter would probably use microSD now. Anyway, I think we all agree it's plotter first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 I have a humminbird 385 that would take navionics gold on an sd card but at 180 quid I can't afford it. I use the 20 quid app on my iPhone. Mind you, if someone is flogging one let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I've got the new Lowrance HDS-5 which uses SD, the Lowrance Elite-5 uses MicroSD. As I said, we need to know what plotter Barto intends buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Just as a side they can't be copied/ pirated so the slimmest of chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barto Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 sorry for my naivity, The unit I was thinking of going for was the lowrance elite 5 dsi. All it says is that it is navionics gold compatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingfisher 126 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I have a Garmin 4008 and it is a cracking bit of kit, you can download the latest software at any time so it keeps everything brand new. Just updated my chart to 2012 at half price of a new chart and it is unblievable the difference it has made. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
