I have version 3 and 4 Lake of the Woods/Rainey cards and had to upgrade a unit this year so I was running an LCX and an HDS and found the same thing that you did. Both cards showed rock hazards, pins and some reef/island names when they were in the LCX. When they were put in the HDS that stuff was gone. I assumed that something in the map data menu on the HDS was turned off. I went to Thorne Brothers and they were aware of this issue said was in the software. I asked if the new Lowrance chips (Lakemaster info) would show all of the information and they said no. To prove their point we put a new Lowrance chip in an HDS in the store display and hazards and pins were not shown. Lowrance needs to provide an update that will make this stuff available to those of us that want/need it. Very frustrating because the info is on the chip but we can't get to it. I used the contact page through the Lowrance website to let them know that I would like to be able to access all of the info on the chips. To anyone effected or concerned about this please let Lowrance know about it, politely of course, and I'm sure they will address this in a future update.
