Any Lowrance pros out there? I'm trying to figure out how to get my 2 units to share my navionics chip. I've updated my software to the most recent version per the lowrance site. Both units are connected to each other via grey cable thru the side imaging box. I can push a waypoint on the bow and it saves in the rear so i believe they are linked correctly.

I went into chart options and selected navionics for both units and only the unit with chip shows map. I've watched multiple videos on the you tube and it seems like i have done this correctly.

Any semi pros out there with ideas?

Shoot me a call if youve experienced this. I can give more details.

Edit, they can share with Gen 2 or 3. I'll let a pro weigh in lol.

I have gen 1. Maybe thats the issue.

Welp...

Yes, Dan is correct. It can be done with Gen 2 and 3.  Gen1 software doesn't allow it.  

Hello Mike,

Dan and Tyler are correct. The Gen1 units are not capable of sharing a navionics card due to software and processor speed. Looks like time to upgrade. Right now Lowrance and Bass Pro have great deals on bundled Gen2 Touch 12 & 9 units.

Thanks to all that replied. I guess i'll be buying another Navionics chip. I'm comfortable with my "old" electronics as they serve their purpose well for my needs.

Getting a new Navionics Chip is the best way to get the freshest data but have you tried all the menu choices in the Charts tab?

You can select your choice of cartography (built in or chip) select "Fishin' Chip" which turns on Navionics SonarCharts and it's possible that your units can share this data through your Ethernet.

Hope that helps and good luck!
