If I set up my new chip for my HB989 SI, can I set it up for Lowrance if I upgrade later?

Far as I'm aware, their is not a chip/card set up.

If your HB or Lowrance unit is Navionics compatible the unit itself will give you a menu option to select the type of card desired to be displayed. Make sure your units have the most current MFG software updates installed.

Here is a screenshot of the Navionics/Humminbird compatibility page. Unfortunately I don't see a HB 989 unit on there as being compatible for use with a Navonics card.



Did you maybe have a typo and your unit is a 998? If not double check with Navionics folks.

Typo. 898c si. It was poker night last night. Thanks for the reply

As Tbird stated above, your Navionics card is universal from Humminbird to Lowrance, as long as it is within a few years old and has the micro chip inside the larger holder. Most of the new Lowrance units are micro SD where as Humminbird is a full size SD, as long as the card is no older than a few years old you can just remove the micro SD from the full size SD holder and it is no problem.
