Recently I acquired a Lowrance LCX 15MT Sonar/Gps combo.. The person who owned prior to me never did any of the updates so I went to the lowrance HSOforum and did as the Product update page stated.... I looked up the ver. on the unit and it was ver. 2.05... I turned on the unit and it and from what I read it should take the update 3.06 from the web page.. I downloaded it from the HSOforum to an 256mb MMC and then turned off the unit.. I put the card in and turned on the unit.. nothing happened.. at least not anything I know of... Ive tried two different cards and nothing seems to happen (the second card was 512mb... said on HSOforum won't read cards larger than 512)... I checked the version and it still comes up 2.05, so nothing has took...
Am I doing something wrong? What should I expect when I turn the unit on with the updated chip in it... (at the present it just goes to the screen I have set... 1/2 Sonar and 1/2 gps....) I did do a soft reset once and tried again nothing...Do I have to wait for the upload?
Any suggestions... I tried an older Navionics Hotspots 16mb Hotspot MMC and it won't read it...??... said it compatible...???
Any suggestions...??? I do have the MapCreate 6 CD...
I would be willing to pay someone to update my graph if needed... I live in the Bemidji MN area... I went to a local marine dealership on the "Corner" and they wouldn't help or even offer advice ... The sonar works fine and the gps keeps a great log... no detail thus I want the update and able to read old cards...
Thanks in advance for advice... or contact me if you would be able to help me program and update in person...
