Bringing a GPS with you on your fishing or boating trip can be a good way to ensure you are never lost. The problem is, sometimes an area can change over the years. Navionics makes a line of maps, called Hotmaps Premium, that helps keep you up to date. These maps have many features that can aid you in your trip, including the current coastline, dock locations and water depth.
Instructions
1. Turn off your GPS unit and remove the SD card from the card slot on the side. If your GPS does not feature an SD card slot, or if you do not have an SD card, you will not be able to install Navionics Hotmaps Premium on your device.
2. Insert the SD card into an open SD card slot on your computer's card reader. Wait for the card to appear on the list of available drives on your computer before continuing. When the card is ready to use, open up your web browser and go to the Navionics home page.
3. Click on the "Webstore" link at the top of the page. You will see a list of all the available Navionics products. Click on the Hot Maps Premium option and the screen will show a breakdown of the program along with a price. Click the "Purchase" button, then enter your payment information into the forms that appear on the page. Click "Purchase" again.
4. Wait for the purchase to go through. You will be taken to a page with a "Download" button. Click on this button and choose the "Save" option when it appears. Click the "Browse" button to choose a location to save the program. Select the SD card from the menu and click "Save."
5. Wait for the download to complete. When it does, close the browser window, then remove your SD card from the card reader. Insert the card back into the slot on your GPS unit and power it on. The Hotmaps Premium program will appear on the menu for you to use.
