I'm not sure, but I think you can make your own maps with that FF. I think you just cruise the lake with the program activated and it will create a topo map for you. I need to learn more how that feature works, but I wish my FF had that ability. Sorry that wasn't the question you asked, but I didn't know the answer to that one. Later J

If you have the GPS feature you can use the Navionics maps on your finder. The maps come on the SD card already and you just stick it in there. I don't know if there's a way to download maps onto your own card.
