| I bought the upgrade kit at gander mountain for 99 bucks. Has anybody upgraded their hot maps chips? If so how long does it take and how hard is it to install? |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | Did you get the navionics update chip. Or some upgrade kit. I bought the update chip in the spring and i thought you had to have a nav premium or nav gold chip to use the navionics update |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | You will love it. Easy to do and the maps are great. You can fit so much on that one card. I did lake by lake to make sure i didnt put lakes on that i would never fish that didnt have muskys. |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | Actually all you need the old chip for is to prove that you have had a premium or gold card before. You can still use that card. The new card you can put maps of anywhere in us and canada on that one card. You will outline the lake on the computer and download lake by lake or you can do region by region. I did lake by lake to save more room on the card. Once you plug it in and get on navionics website its pretty easy to do. |

Location: pittsburgh, pa | You will have the navionics maps and the sonarcharts on the new card once you download them. On the hds the sonarcharts are called fosh n chip under settings then view. I found the navionics maps are better on the lakes i fish but that could change. 1 foot contours on every lake ive used it on so far. |
