lake master chip

[7outof10]

i got an expedition and a lms 334 c igps and i got one lake master chip for both .....heres the problem i got differnt way points on both i went to a seminar about lowance stuff and the guy said that you could save way points on the lake master chip that the chips where only like half full of info ....so i can get all the way points on one unit and by the way the 334 c sucks im buying a humming bird lol

I may be competely wrong but from what I'm aware is that Lakemaster chips are 'read-only' type cards. You can not save or transfer info onto that SD card and you could cause damage to your card. But you can buy a new SD card, they're pretty cheap, and save your way points, trails, etc onto that and then transfer.

I wouldn't try adding or changing anything to you Lakemaster card. If it screws up the info you are SOL.

On my Garmin Oregon with the Lakemaster chip I can add TOPO maps to it, so mine is not a "read-only" sd card.

Ya, that part I wasn't certain at all on. I just always heard don't mess with your chips... thanks for the correction.

As for how to save I can't remember the exact steps off the top of my head. It's been awhile. Lowrance has all their manuals online so you can pull it up easy and find that section. I do remember it was easy to do.

Good luck..

I don't know how to save anything with a Lowrance. I only use Garmin.

Yeah, like Mike said, don't mess with your chips, the data is not protected at all and it can be lost very easily.

You'll want to transfer the Way-points from one Lowrance unit to the other with a blank SD card not your LakeMaster Chip.
