Hey NCKA I’m trying to import the 20 Fathom Line in my Lowrance Elite 5Ti With a micro card,I’ve used an 32 GB and an 8 GB card . Both times no command comes up showing the card has been read. Is not in files either. also the Wireless says it’s connecting and connected. Trying the online download, it always will not stay connected.:smt013 So do you think the card reader is toast? If it is, is the unit garbage if I want to have the 20 Fathom line on my FF? Depth and chart work fine. Any chance someone has run into this issue? Also are most people putting it on their FF?

Hi Scotty,
When I added it to my Raymarine the 20 fathom line showed up in the saved tracks files. I clicked on it to add it into the chart.
I have a Lawrance Hook 2 that has a Navionics chip installed, and if I have time this weekend I will work on trying to add the 20 fathom line into it as well. I will let you know if I come up with a solution.

On my less fancy Lowrance it showed up under files and was easy to load. It's possibly the card or the card reader, just not sure. If it's the reader i'd try inserting it over and over again to see if it might get contact on a corroded contact. See if you can see any corrosion come out from doing that. If you had a known good card you could recognize in there before that would help narrow down the issue. If it has a wifi capability, sounds like that would be a better option, but not sure how to troubleshoot that. I definetly would like a wifi option for offloading data. Then I would automate backing up data every trip. I have a backup already, but have to put the card in, write it, and then stick it into a usb reader in the office.

Hey Mark,
I'll be wanting to add this to Elite 4 so looking forward to what you come up with. I have pretty much no idea how to do this. Do you stick the chip in your phone transfer the information to it then put the chip back in your fish finder or what?

Process was similar to this on my Lowrance:
