Just purchased a 2010 Navionics Lake map for HDS -5. I put the chip in my unit but when I zoom in and out to see the contours, it takes forever to do its thing. Has anyone had this problem and if so what was the remedy?

From what I was told Thomas is that you need to go to the Lowrance....(if that is the brand fishfinder you have) and update your unit to the new program by uploading a blank chip with the new program from their website and importing it to your unit and then put in your Navionics chip.....apparently with the new technology...which changes daily.....the unit must be upgraded regularly....still have to attempt mine.

I have updated it awhile back but I will give it a shot and see what it does.
