I'd recommend another adapter just in case. I can lend you one 76Tourer if you cant get hold of one.

Thanks for the reply Jabsy but the micro SD go's into the sounder with no adapter .

Matt the card states it's a 128 MB so should be small enough (under 2GB) so I'll try getting into In & Outboard in the morning and ask Michael what I've done ....

My bad, I didn't think there was a sounder that took microSD. (I'm a humminbird man as from today...)

I should have a few cards under 2GB if you want to try them out, I'm at Howard Springs.

Dropped in and seen Michael .... what a great bloke ! He sez that the Elite can be a bit tempermental to upload the points into, so he put the data onto a 1GB card, put it in the sounder and hey presto no problems . He wasn't sure why it was so, but putting the data onto a bigger card (still smaller then 2GB) worked most of the time .

Thanks for the help guy's :D

Hey guys, ime having the same problem with my Elite 7 HDI, took nav gold card out,put the card in(128mb Northern Territory card) and went to waypoints,trails etc and pressed "load from card" and then got the"please insert card up to 2 Gb".
Looks like i need to do what you did 76Tourer, how did you load it onto a bigger card?.
Maybe i need to get down to in and out marine but if i can sort it from hom it would be better.Can you just plug these cards into your computer and copy them to a bigger card or do you need a special program that recognises the data?

Should be able to copy and paste onto a bigger blank card if you retain the file structure, but don't put it in a folder on that card or you'll mess it up :)

Thanks for posting your original instructions Matt. Finally bought a territory card and couldn't figure it out, so pulled out the computer to search FFF and found the simple instructions. They should have included that when you purchase the card.
