Lowrance i-Finder handhelds take Lowrance LM cards in SD format.

The new Lowrance Endura handhelds are supposed to take LM cards in microSD format. Lowrance needs to update their software to read the LM cards and they say they're going to do it, but it's not out there yet. And note that the Enduras take microSD cards, not SD cards.

Garmin units take Garmin LM cards. It needs to be a Garmin card though, you can't use a Lowrance card in a Garmin unit.

Hope that helps.

Boar,

go to lake masters HSOforum and look up the compatibility of the chips. it will list what unit the chips will work in. to my knowledge they work only in the lowrance and garmin units and they just came out with a special chip for humminbird fish finders. They have them in regular sd card format and in micro sd format.

it is their way of making you buy more of their chips.

That's one way to look at it.

Another way to look at it is that almost no new electronics still use SD cards, most of them use microSD cards now. My phones have used microSD chips for years ---- so have Garmin units.

It still sucks if you need to change though

One thing you may want to look into is buying the CD rom and make your own card.

I'm not sure if Lowrance or Hummingbird offers this, Garmin offers this.

The CD rom has its draw backs along with its benefits. The Benefits of the CD rom are you can view the maps on your computer with the added feature of creating your own maps with waypoints and routs and print them or transfer them to the unit. You also have the benefit of making as many cards you want though with an exception.

The exception/Draw back of the CD rom is you can only use those cards you make in two separate designated units and that's all. The chip you buy you can switch to multiple units in its proprietary realm.

As for needing a separate card for Lake of the woods or Rainy I think it has to do with the amount of information on card where the unit can run at a decent speed while scrolling. The more info on the card the slower the unit runs. The new units maybe able to handle the extra info but there are still a lot of units in production that would be effected by to much info on the card.

Boar you just entered an area of confusion, indecision and utterly frustration when it comes to finding the right unit. We all go through it the good news with the new technoligy and new units being offered you will come out on top.

The sad thing is I only use my h20c to find a spot I want to fish on LOW an thats it, what is that about .5% of it's actual capability. Kinda like the housewife that drive a 3/4ton chevy etended cab long box just to go to the salon. Technology moves to fast for this old school boar, thanks for all the replies. I was really looking at the low end lowrance endura an it would just kinda suck to have buy the same chip in a micro card. Anywho. boar

These chip companies should of just made the chip on the micro sd cards and include the adapter that allows you to use a mirco sd card in something that uses regular sd cards. My digital camera use regular sd cards but I have used the micro sd cards in it with the adapter and have had no issues.

The map cards on microSD come with SD adapters so you can use them in older electronics that take SD cards. The problem is the new units that have microSD card slots --- there's no way to use an SD card in a microSD slot.

Your Lakemaster chip that you use in the h2o will not work in the new Lowrance Endura series anyways. The old Lowrance chips will not work in the new Endura stuff. So if you were going to buy a new GPS, look at all brands now that you will have to buy a new chip anyways!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
