    Hey gang,

    Should I be able to pull up a lakemaster MN pro map V6 on this unit?

    Yes, it should work. I ran the v6 in an hds5 gen1 without issue.

    So, when I try to select the map, I only have lowrance and navionics as options. It isn’t finding lakemaster, should I reset factory settings?

    I’m reading that if updated, lakemaster chips no longer work? I think it’s v 4.0 that works, v 4.1 does not? Reseting sounds like a solution, BUT you might loose some improvements dropping the update to run the chip.

    Select Lowrance in mapping options. You do not need to reset any factory defaults. That chip will work in all HDS Gen 1’s and will work in Gen 2’s
    IF your software version is NO higher than v 2.1. (Older Lakemaster will
    work at v 2.5, you could try it, but for sure 2.1 works for chips up to
    and including version 7.
