    Got to the lake and my H2OC is not reading my 2009 lakemaster chip. No contour lines. I thought i had this chip in it before but maybe it was an older one.
    Shouldn’t it be able to read an 09?
    I see the chip flashing on start up and it shows the ProMap Technologies copyright info.
    Please help if you can. Thanks!

    I have a 09 lakemaster in my H20C and it reads…slow but still reads it fine. I guess I am used to the speed of today’s technology.

    I have h2oc with 92 lake chip and shows and reads contour just fine. Not sure why yours don’t work. Sorry.

    You need to go into the settings and select the chip. I cannot remember the sequence but that’s what needs to be done.

    Dan, not sure if this is your issue but this happened to me on my old B&W unit. The little spin wheel that held my card in was getting loose from use and wasn’t holding the chip down so it could make contact on the pins. I just put some folded up paper in there under the batteries and it was enough force to push the chip down so it can make contact on the connectors.

    I hope I don’t jinx myself but my color H2O has been slow to load the chip lately too. It will blink down in the right corner like you mentioned but after 5-10 seconds the chip takes and starts to show contours. This happens almost every time.

    Not sure if the BnW H20is the same as the H20C but my first 09′ chip was a microSD and the BnW will not read microSD. It worked fine in my 520 and lcx27 though. I contacted LM on this at the time and they told me about the MicroSD being the issue and they exchanged it with a SD which worked in all including my H20
