Capt. Paul, I recently purchased a Lowrance HDS 7 Gen 2 chartplotter unit. The unit came with the world basemap. It did not have Insight or any other detailed mapping software. The basemap is good but is outdated, pre-Katrina. I purchased the Nautic Insight HD chip only to discover the SD sized chip does not fit my unit's chip slot. All the information I have read seems to indicate that the HDS 7 unit is compatible with the SD chip. How do I solve this dilema? I don't want to have to purchase another high-def charting program. Please offer suggestions. Thanks

A Standard SD card should fit a Lowrance HDS 2 unit

Everything that I read as well as the Lowrance web site (http://www.lowrance.com/Products/Marine/HDS-Gen2/HDS-7-Gen2/Specifications/ ) in their Specifications on the HDS 7 indicates that
the HDS Gen2 units are Memory card capable and has ONE SD/MMC memory card slot.
If you purchased a standard SD card it should fit in the card slot of the unit. If you purchased the Nautic Insight on a microSD card, you can obtain a small converter device that accepts the MicroSD chip and converts it to a standard SD format.
Your SD card SHOULD fit in the HDS Gen 2 unit.
If this does not correct the problem, contact the Lowrance support section at 1-800-324-1356 and ask them for assistance.
Please let me know how you make out.
