The GPS Receiver included with your 1100 Series™ Fishing system allows you to combine easy-to-use fishing system and navigation capabilities. The following GPS functionality is currently supported by the

1100 Series™ Fishing system when it is connected to the included GPS receiver:

View current position

Your 1100 Series™ supports Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, HotMaps™ Premium, and Platinum™ Cartography on MMC or SD card media.

NOTE: Your 1100 Series™ does not support Navionics® Classic Charts, only Navionics® Gold, HotMaps™, HotMaps™ Premium, and Platinum™ Cartography.

NOTE: Some models come pre-loaded with Navionics® cartography and are referred to as NVB models. NVB models are only available domestically. Currently, there are no international NVB models.

Your unit also comes with a built-in UniMap™ with a detailed map of North America (Domestic models) or a detailed map of Europe and Southeast Asia, including Australia and New Zealand (International models).

Your 1100 Series™ uses the GPS Receiver to determine the position of the boat automatically, and uses the zoom level settings on a particular view to select the best chart to display. See Viewing Cartography for more information.

MMC/SD Slot

Your 1100 Series™ Fishing System also has an MMC/SD slot that is used to insert optional-purchase cards containing additional detailed maps. If you insert an MMC/SD that contains a more detailed chart for a particular location, your 1100 Series™ Fishing System will retrieve that chart and display it automatically. Use the illustration to locate the position of the MMC/SD slot cover, open the MMC/SD slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the left side of the unit. Press down on the card until it clicks into place and close the slot cover.

Inserting an MMC/SD into the Card Slot

Software Updates

Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head. To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it, will tell you what software version your control head is currently running, and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the www.humminbird.com website.
