Is anybody else having problems exporting their maps back to the unit for a non updated unit? I've used the conversion instruction sheet, but i feel like im missing something, or im moving the wrong files etc. Love some help if anybody knows!

Hey, what are you having trouble with?
I have messed with mine now finally. As stressed by Humminbird, I did not delete or alter the original "AC" folder or "LkMaster" folder.
So...
I renamed the "LkMaster" folder to "0LkMaster-DO NOT DELETE".
I renamed the "AC" folder to "0AC-DO NOT DELETE".
That way when I look at the contents of the Zerolines SD card on my computer, I know that those two folder are the originals and should not be messed with.
When I first got my copy of Autochart, I set up the program to read and write to a local copy of the SD card (so I don't have to have the Zerolines SD card in my computer to save/update my lakemaster maps).
So when I created a new lakemaster map, it is save in C:/Autochart/LkMaster/AC
Once you have your map how you want it, copy the "LkMaster" located inside the AC folder from your hard drive, to the root of the ZeroLines SD card.
I didn't have any issues, and it worked just as a normal lakemaster card.
-
I created a little tutorial file to show the process.
It shows the steps needed to use your ZeroLines SD card and your custom map on a Humminbird unit that does not have the software update on it yet. This is how I got it to work on my 788ci HD.
Download the .pdf file below, and let me know if you have any questions.

I have updated my unit firmware and I was able to see my custom maps but had to rename and copy my maps to the SD card root.

do you have to first initialize a map on card then copy all files to pc so there is a AC file to copy to the pc hardrive??
what am I missing ? as I said this is a brand new zerlines card ....and all it shows is a LKmaster file

will this work on 798csi non HD older unit? software 6.3?
I called HB support not much help

-
Yes, you can get it to work on ALL Humminbird units that have an SD card and accept a mapping chip. You just have to use a work around to do it, which isn't too difficult.
-
