Thank You, Thank You, Thank You, for this video. I was at Mallacoota on the weekend with my new Elite Ti2 but forgot to get the Mallacoota CMap. Remembered this video so literally downloaded the map on the water. What a cool piece of technology.
Hey dean. I know this video is old but trying to do the same thing with social maps on the reveal 7xss. Followed all instruction and say a prompt asking to load the map in should show up. But it's not thoughts? Thanks, Randy
@@DeanSilvester ok that may explain that. I'll try it again in a few minutes and see if it asks me to load it. I had 3 maps on there cause I kayak fish and we were hitting up a few lakes depending on how many were there.
@@DeanSilvester so cleared the sd card, only put one lake on there and after 20mins it still does not show the prompt. And unfortunately short of calling lowrance my emails have yet to be answered about this issue as well as getting another base for the lowrance....been a few weeks. So I just want to say thank you for getting back to me on this. Your the o ly person so far that has some answers!
sorry for late reply on this mate, can you shoot me a DM on my FB page that way i will find your replies easier and be notified. Is your unit up to date? have you gone into chart source to see if you can select it in there? what size SD card are you running? that also affects it. Shoot me all these on FB thanks mate
Hi Dean, thanks for the great video. I have the Simrad GO7 XSE which has the same interface as your Lowrance HDS. I downloaded one map, and have subsequintly never been able to download any other's. Like Murray, I also get the "Failed to queue map for download" message.....any ideas?
Hi mate, you can only download direct to the sounder when you have a blank SD card. if you already have a map on it i suggest you delete it then download the map you need. Subsequently watch my video on downloading multiple maps to your unit using a pc. hope this helps
I also have the GO7 XSE, and have found a way to get it to work. First, insert SD card into computer and create a partition on it, making two areas for data. Place your completed downloads , the five AT type files, in second half of SD partition. Many lakes/maps can go into this partition, but they are tiny files, so only a few gigabytes are needed, about 5-10. Keep them all in seperate folders. Once they are there via PC.or moved via your GO7 XSE, the main partition can be erased, ready to log more sonar. The main partition I keep larger for this reason. The error "failed to queue for download" is because the main partition is not empty.
Great video -- keep up the great work mate! I'm trying to download the Lake Wivenhoe map on my Elite 7Ti and I get to the point where Wivenhoe and Cressbrook come up, however when I click on "download now" I get the following error message "Failed to queue map for download". Any ideas?
I have the Lowrance Hook 4...but still have not seen my maps on my Lowrance ...they should be on the mini SD...but can not get them seen back on the water. Do I also need a phone wifi connection?
@@DeanSilvester I am having problems downloading a social map to a sd card from the Insight Genesis page. It says it is a Zip folder and will not extract. Can I just download a Social Map using my phone and WiFi.
hey Dean,good video,have been having a few issues with my Elite7ti, I used to be able to download maps straight on to the unit just like in your video, now it brings up a ' failed to queue map for download fault ' have tried this many times with the same result, have downloaded maps from insight genesis to a micro sd card, card shows the 5 folders, load sd card into my unit turn unit on should bring up the map, my unit doesn't do this, have done unit resets,tried everything.this is frustrating as I use the maps for bass fishing the dams and is why I bought this unit, any help would b greatly appreciated, thanks
Hi Mark, you can only download one map direct to your sounder and it needs to be to a blank SD card. if the card in the sounder already has a map on it then it won't work. if you want to have multiple maps on your sounder it is best to do it from a PC. check out my other video on multiple maps on your sounder. hope that helps.
hi... I try to connect to the go free shop I sight in and all but it says that the page is under some kind of maintenance or something and it says that last 5 days, and it says tray again later... do you know what is the problem? thanks
Hello. I have Lowrance Elite 7 Ti. If I download to my plotter one social map it`s work perfect. But if I downloads another social maps to my plooter first maps is losted and I have only one- last downloaded maps to my SD card. Can you help?
Hi mate, you can only download one map at any one time direct to the sounder as you need to do it to a blank SD card. if you want multiple maps on your sounder check out my video on multiple maps using a pc. hope this helps
Good Video! Is there a possibility to show the Social Maps on the iPhone with an gps point on the map, which shows my exact Position? Background: I dont have the money for a sonar which shows me the social maps. So Im looking for an app which allows me to lokale the spots with the IPhone :-) Greetings from Germany and sorry for the bad English 😅
i dont think its possible to do it live from an iphone or ipad but yes you can log into C-Map on either iphone or ipad and look at the maps but unfortunately it won't show you your position.

Great video. Is it possible to merge social map and recorded sonar logs?
Yep!
yes
Dean do you have to be at the location to download or can it be done at your home.
Could be done from home mate, not sure if you can still download direct to sounder anymore. I know maybe a year ago or so it wasn't available.

is the unit up to date? you can only do one map at a time when you do it direct to the unit. how many maps are you running

Hi Dean,Once downloaded, do the maps stay stored on the SD Card?
+Daniel Maloney yes they are stored on your SD card but it pays to update occasionally to ensure you have the latest map
