When I put this chip in, it just shows very bland...no depth contours. Is it not compatible?
I have a hds 5 gen 1
the chip says:
Hotmaps Premium South SD/PREM-S2 V03.18
thanks for any help

That's a old card but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. There's a member by the name of Wayne P that post in the Humminbird thread. If nobody else responds shoot him a PM about it, he's one of the most versed in Navionics on here. (There's a few others but they aren't on here as much as Wayne)

Are you sure the card is unlock?
If so, his you're HDS run the latest software version?
On the map page menu did you choose Navionics instead of Lowrance?
Are you sure the MSD (mini card) is inside the SD?

Yes its on latest firmware
I chose both and when I choose navionics, thats when it goes really bland and no contours.
It doesnt have a mini-sd...its an older full size chip
does it have to be on unlock? I just thought that meant nothing could be written to it.

What lake were you trying to look at? I would check out the Webapp to see if the lake is covered, but just because it is on there now does not mean it was back when that card was made. If it is now on the webapp, you can buy an updates card for $99(new card at half price since you already own a Navionics Card) and use your old premium to unlock the update and have the latest mapping that is on the webapp.

No, if it is a Premium card, the updates card will work. It is differnet than just doing the update online. It is actually a whole new card that comes to you as a blank card. When you go to Navionics.com and sign in, it will ask you to insert the update card. Once it reads that it is an update card, it will then ask you to remove and insert your existing premium card, just to verify that you have one and it will ear mark the Premium card that is has already been used to activate an updates card. You will then be prompted to remove the premium and re-insert the updates card. The update card will then be unlocked and will now become a blank Nav+ card for you to be able to go into and draw boxes around the bodies of water you like to fish and download to that card for a complete customizable to you mapping card, without boundaries. Your premium card will be perfectly functional to do with whatever you wish, can even still use it in another unit.
