Troubleshooting Navionics Charts in Lowrance XOG units

Steps to bring up the software version of the XOG unit

1. Make sure the unit has the most up-to-date software version (to verify what this is visit www.lowrance.com select DOWNLOADS and PRODUCT SOFTWARE UPDATES. Select your GPS unit’s model #).
If your unit requires a software update, please do not use the Navionics chart to download the software or have the Navionics chip inside the unit when the software is being updated as this will corrupt the Navionics chart and render the card useless.
   a. Press MENU icon on display
   b. Select OPTIONS
   c. Select the THIRD TAB “PAGE 3 – ROMAN NUMERALS”
   d. Select “DEVICE INFORMATION”
   e. The software version of the unit is located under the line that says “XOG” – must be at least 1.4.0

Steps to turn on the Navionics information

1. Press MENU icon once and select OPTIONS icon, select CATEGORIES DRAWN icon
