Global map 5200c loading problems- navionics platinum hot maps

Hi,

Please test the backup sd card on another GPS if possible to see if the zoomed-in section of the map file shows up or not. If it shows, then you'd need to send in your lowrance gps for repair from the water damage.

Thank you.

You need to contact the maker of the product for this question

With your card in your unit follow these steps it should accomplish letting you view your map data.
push MENU twice
Highlight CHART push ENTER
Highlight CHART DATA push ENTER
Highlight LOWRANCE push ENTER.
You will note there is an option for Lowrance and Navionics, if you select Navionics you will see a distinct difference in the way the base map displays on your unit.
Hope this helps.

Yes, all Lowrance products will use and display Navionics map data.
Compatibility Guide America
Here is a link to the navionics compatability page so you can see which map cards will work in your unit.

In your menu under CHARTS there is a choice for either LOWRANCE or NAVIONICS. Select NAVIONICS and you should be able to see your chart maps.

That question mark means the GPS antenna cannot get a satellite fix for the GPS to triangulate your position.
Be sure there is no aluminum above your antenna. This will block the gps signal. Also be sure your GPS antenna is at least 24" or more away from any other electronics The electromagnetic field electronics emit will disrupt the GPS signal coming to your antenna.

Did you get the card for a Humminbird .... OR... a Lowrance??

MapCreate Topo does not have lake maps. There are 'some' maps on Lowrance's web site (Free Enhanced Lake Maps) but you may need to purchase lake maps on SD cards for the area you're interested in.

Make sure that the 5200c is set to read the Navionic card. You can set that under Map Data.
