Chart overlay, Chart Settings | Lowrance electronic 10764001

Selecting chart data

This unit can use built-in Lowrance map data as well as Navionics,

Fishing Hotspots, legacy LakeMaster and other third-party mapping cards. Tap Change to Navionics or Change to Lowrance to

switch chart data the unit is using.

¼¼ Note: The system will not automatically switch to embedded cartography if the SD card is removed. A low-resolution chart will be displayed until you re-insert the SD card or manually switch back to embedded cartography. When a third-party mapping card is inserted, the system will prompt you to switch to SD card cartography, if the unit is not in the correct chart mode.

Chart overlay

Radar, StructureMap and weather information can be displayed as overlay on the chart page.

¼¼ Note: Weather overlay currently is only available in the United States. When radar, weather or StructureMap overlay is selected, the chart context menu will be expanded to include basic functions for the selected overlay.

Radar, StructureMap and SIRIUS weather functions are described in separate sections in this manual.
