How to turn on Lakemaster MN Chip on LMS-332C

[Hookmaster]

My buddy just got a new rig with a LMS-332C and the Lakemaster MN chip. He's not one to read manuals and I haven't been able to get over to his house to help. Could someone post how to activate the chip so he can see the the contour lines on the lakes when the GPS is on?

I think he has to go to menu and turn on some overlays.

It should come on automatically. The only other thing you can do is go to one of the menus I can't remember which one and it will say browse MMC files and you can select the chip you want to use then.

But again it should read it automatically.

The first time I turned it on without the gps module hooked up, the screen showed Tulsa OK, just arrow key up to your MN lake.

But if your friend really won't look at the manual, he will be in for a tough time with that unit. In order to take advantage of all the gismoes on that unit you need to STUDY that manual, especially if you're over 50, like me!

The dealer showed him how on a unit in the store but he didn't write down the process. I called LakeMaster and got a few things for him to try. He didn't even try it last night. I asked him to go up to Mille Lacs with me on Sunday to give it a good work out. He said he would be too busy fishing to learn the 332C. Heck he can learn it in his garage with the manual good enough in 30-60 minutes. Attorneys.

With the unit turned off, install the chip in the 332. Then simply turn on the unit and presto, your data is overlayed. If for some reason it does not come up automatically, hit menu, scroll down to Map Data, hit enter, scroll to Lakemaster map, hit enter, hit exit twice, and your ready to roll. Good Luck, Greg.

Above post spelled it out. I don't think it automatically pops up. First hit menu while in GPS screen. Next hit map data. In the upper right the drop down menu should read lakemaster not Lowrance. Once you scroll on lakemaster exit out and you should be able to see a blinking chip like icon in the bottom right and Poof your lake data will be there.
