Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - installing Garmin lake-vu chip question(from a dummy)

My 2013 Garmin 740S chartplotter ended up being compatible with only ONE chip, the v2016 Lake Vu HD version.

Rattletrap reached out and said he had a chip we thought would work. We met and tried to install it but could not finish the installation. He was under time requirements and could not stay for the final steps. He said keep the chip and send me a check if it works, send me the chip if it doesn't work. The value of the chip was around $100.

Trust. He trusted me to do the right thing. It didn't work because it was the Ultra version, not the HD. I mailed the chip back this morning.

Our nation is divided, we don't seem to trust one another too much any more. It's people like rattletrap that restore our faith in humanity.
