    ignition protection

    Since the new 250 Zukes if you start the engines with the Raymarine MFD, Autopilot on they often go crazy. Lose GPS fix and have to be shut down and wait for them to come back. This sometimes happens when drifting or bottom fishing. Asked the shop when they hung engines to wire to prevent this...

    garmin navionics +/vision

    Fished with the relief shading yesterday pretty amazing view of the bottom. We were in 15-25ft, seems as though detail diminishes as you get deeper. How deep does it remain effective?

    garmin navionics +/vision

    So bit the bullet and bought new plotter with navionics south and vision. I have things activated and downloaded relief shading to my phone but cannot see it on the plotter. Currently is seems to be syncing and transferring to the plotter. I think that's the direction info is going. Second...

    navionics vision+ us south

    I gave up WM was nice enough to take it back and offered another card to replace. I declined and took the money. My concern is the card slot does not hold a card 99% of time. I have also lost my previous subscription of Navionics charts and am now using the blue charts which come with the...

    navionics vision+ us south

    First thanks for the help. Yes I purchased the vus006r. Is it the correct one of the 4 I have no idea and most likely WM will not either. That said things may be a problem on the hardware side. First my Garmin has lost the Navionics charts that I bought after I purchased the plotter. That...

    I will try to clarify. Had Navionics + subscription which expired in 2023. Never renewed the subscription as charts were fine for me. The other dat went fishing with a buddy that had the Navionics+ Vision and was impressed with the relief shading for bottom fishing. So go to WM as I had a...

    So I paid 149 for the card in a box. When I go to my subscriptions they want another 149 to renew. What's up with that. I thought buying the card would be the subscription.
