LOWRANCE BACKGROUND MAP
C-MAP™ BACKGROUND MAP
“Area Fill” label to move the check mark from “Water” to “Land”. Now press
the CLR key. The unit returns to the map screen with the land filled with
gray.
Cartridge Switch
The mapping unit can use either Lowrance IMS or C-MAP™ cartridges. If
you wish to use the C-MAP cartridge, you’ll need to purchase the Lowrance
Maplink cartridge reader. The mapping unit has a Lowrance map of the
world built into it. This is called the “background” map. C-MAP uses their
own background map which is built into the Maplink cartridge reader.
Information from a C-MAP cartridge can’t be displayed while the Lowrance
background map is showing and vice-versa. You must use the C-MAP
background with a C-MAP cartridge and the Lowrance background map
with the Lowrance inland modules. The default setting is the Lowrance
background map and modules.
To switch between the Low-
rance and C-MAP maps, press
the MENU key, then press the
key next to the “Mapping
Setup...” label. Now press the
key next to the “Cartridge OFF
Lowrance C-MAP” label. A
message appears: “Press the
ENT key to proceed or press
the CLR key to quit”. If you
pressed the ENT key, the C-
MAP background map should
now be displayed. If you have a
C-MAP cartridge plugged into
the Maplink, a box will appear
on the map in the area covered
by the cartridge. This area lets
you “zoom-in” much closer than
the standard background map,
typically allowing much more
detail to be shown.
(Note: It is normal for zooming
in or out with C-MAP to be
much slower than with the Low-
rance maps.)
