Lowrance global map 100- mapping

[moby1]

I recently bought a older used global map 100. Does anyone have one out there that can give me any info on software downloading, compatible software,...etc. I've searched the web a bit but just got confused. Any info will be appreciated.

Yep, I have one of those babies. The first place to look is on Lowrance's HSOforum. MapCreate 4 is compatible with the GM100 and there was also a program called GDM-16 which is used to tranfer waypoints and IMS SmartMaps to the GPS. GDM stands for GPS Data Manager. This software was from around 1998, so I'm not sure if you could call and ask for a copy or if they'll charge you for it.

The cable that you need has a 9-pin serial connector and therefore you'll need a PC that has a serial port. You'll probably have to ask them about that as well when asking about the software.

hsolist might be another place to look if you strikeout with Lowrance, but I doubt you will.

So far no reply from lowrance. I haven't been able to find the mapcreate 4 either. Actually I have found it on hsolist. The same seller has a few of them but they are all copies of the software. I'm a little too nervous about sending $30 for a copy. Ill keep looking. IF anyone else has input Id be glad to hear it.

Thanks

I have contacted lowrance but they are up to mapcreate 6 now and cannot help me in finding 4. Anyone else out there have the software or know where I can get it?

Thanks
