Frequently Asked Question:

How do I get the mapping and information on my handheld Lowrance GPS unit?

First, we sell the electronic files and not the data cards.  To use this data, you will need to copy the information from your computer onto an SD card.  Once there, simply install the card into the Lowrance GPS, load the .usr data, and your are ready to go.  The Lowrance unit will read the .lcm mapping file automatically, and you must load the .usr data from the card to your unit's memory.  A step by step for that loading procedure is below.

IF you do not know how to put this data on your SD card, we'll do it for free!!  Send me a 1GB SanDisk SD card with a self addressed stamped envelope and I will load the files and return it promptly to you.  You plug it in, load the files per the procedure below, and you are off and fishing!  If this is you, mail to: Outdoor Technologies LLC 4355 Forest Lane
Rhinelander, WI 54501

Lowrance .usr data-file loading procedure:

  1. load card
  2. replace batteries
  3. turn unit on
  4. press menu
  5. press menu
  6. scroll down to system setup
  7. arrow right
  8. scroll down to transfer my data
  9. enter
  10. choose load
  11. enter
  12. enter -this puts you into the menu of files
  13. scroll to the data file you want loaded
  14. hit enter
  15. arrow down to load
  16. enter

The data should load at this point.  If you get an error that there is not enough memory, then you will need to delete some waypoints, tracks, or routes off the unit to make room for the storage of the new data.  These files are not large, so it will not be a problem often.

Garmin Users....
The mapping file is currently underway for the Garmin compatibility.  I do have the overlay data available in the Garmin .gpx format.  You can purchase using the Lowrance purchase buttons, and email me at the contact on the purchase info you receive.  I will email you the Garmin compatible files.

Note: all files have been coded with a digital signature.  Any reproduction or copying of this data without the expressed written consent of Outdoor Technologies LLC is prohibited.
