Hello, I am new to the forum, I live locally and have enjoyed the big lake for many years. My wife and I decided to buy a 20' CC fishing/family/fun boat and are on the lake as much as the ocean lately. I have an HDS5 Lowrance combo chartplotter and am looking into the Navionics freshwater East sd card to use on the lake. My question is, my chart plotter is 4 yrs old now, will the sd card be plug and play or are there upgrades/downloads required to run the software. Ive read some very mixed reviews about the support and do not want to get stuck with a $150.00 card that does not work for us. Thanks for the help.
