Navionics Plus for Helix 7
Per Navionics instructions for viewing maps while not on the water, I put the unit in simulation mode and installed chip. It indicates that it is downloading the chart, but then gives a message that there is no chart. Please help.

Do you have the new Navionics+ Canada & USA 16gig? or it's the older 2Gig card? If it's the 2 Gig you need to download the region you intend to fish.

Do you have another unit to try the card on? Have you done anything with that card before inserting into unit?

You also need to register the card to be able to use it.

Preloaded chip must be updated to get Sonar view and you can highlight specific areas to update. I simply updated one lake. I initially tried it in regular operating mode. When it wouldn't recognize it, I searched for a solution and found the instructions for using the chip in simulator mode.

You have to set the unit menu Chart Select to FishNChip to view the Sonar Charts map layer.

I know that and to be able to see the sonarchart you need to choose: Fish nChip in you're Menu. On HB I don't where because I am a Lowrance user.

@ Wayne P.
Okay, "added", not "updated". Either way, that's what I did, along with selecting FishNChip....nothing.

Did you have Nautical Charts and Sonar Charts checked for the download when you added the Sonar Charts map/s? Check the files on the card. Nautical Charts is .nv2 and Sonar Charts is .nv3. See if every state and parts of states plus territories are listed. You will have to figure out the letter code for each coverage. Some are just states and some are like W or E of states.

It appears there was a software update for the Helix on 1/5, which I installed. All is good now. Thanks Wayne and Wally.
