In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens kzfaq.infoUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.

Hello, Do one echomap download for all Garmin series? If so, can you use the same SD card for updating the 93sv then remove it and put it in the 106sv and download the same??

What is the price of your sd cards?, how would I place an order.

Thank you for the How to... I haven't had an issue before in doing an update, until now. I have a GPSMAP 1242xsv. I followed the instructions and I've redone the dowload 3 times, the Extract 3 times and Copy2Card 3 times (this step twice to a standard 32GB SD card and once to a Micro 32gb SD card with adapter) to no avail. I insert the card with the unit powered on and it recognizes Data Slot only. It does not show a "Software updates" box at the top. What am I doing wrong?

Try format your sd card before you use the card. We had this problem updating before and this solved the problem.

Does this have to be 32 SIM card? I have a 64 and it’s not reading once I get to the devise? Help?

@jmdarling76 2 жыл бұрын

From what I have read the card must be between 8gb and 32gb, any larger or smaller will not work. Again that is just what I have read, I will be updating my unit for the first time this weekend.
