My LakeMaster card does not work in my Humminbird or Minn Kota Fish Finder
If your Fish Finder is not displaying the LakeMaster map card try the following:
- In your Fish Finder, check the "Chart Select" or "Map Source" options under the Chart Tab to verify that the map card is being read (See Example 1 below). Choose Auto, Left/Right card slot, or VX/Legacy Chart cards depending on your unit.
- Check to ensure you have a compatible Fish Finder, using the Minn Kota Mapping Compatibility and Comparison as a reference.
- Check to ensure that your Fish Finder has the most recent update available.
- Occasionally setting your Fish Finder to North Up under the Nav tab (Legacy), Chart Tab (HELIX), or Chart view (SOLIX/APEX). LakeMaster map cards will also display in "Course Up" and 'Head (Heading) Up" mode. (See Example 2 below)
After checking and adjusting the above settings, you should be able to zoom into a LakeMaster lake and see contours.
Example 1
Legacy [Left] and HELIX [Right]
SOLIX and APEX
Example 2
Legacy [Left] and HELIX [Right]
SOLIX and APEX
- Ensure that your map card is a LakeMaster Card. Humminbird products do not support older Lowrance or Garmin LakeMaster cards.
If you are still having problems displaying contours, please contact us.
