I've been struggling a bit with the snapshot feature on my 998c. I understand how to turn on the snapshot function and how to get a snapshot of the screen. However for some reason, my snapshots keep getting saved onto my Lakemaster chip, even when I have a blank sd card in the other slot of the card reader. Is it not recommended to take snapshots with a Lakemaster chip in the unit? What am I doing wrong? I really don't want to fill up my Lakemaster chips with snapshots. Thanks

I believe that snapshots are saved to the units memory and not to either card. LM or blank SD
To get the snapshots to a card, you export them from the unit. Recordings go directly to the card.

Ok. I guess I undertand that. Can I practice doing that in the simulator mode? Or does it have to be in normal mode?
-
lock the map card to readonly and make sure the other card is NOT in lock mode.

I'm sorry. I mixed one of my responses ( since deleted) with another thread that I was following.
LocDown has the answer your looking for.

No problem.. You had me confused though! I think I figured it out. I hooked up a transducer and gps and ran it in normal mode. I took some screen shots and it seemed to work. One thing I noticed is the numbers of the snapshots doesn't reset to "0" after I delete the images from the unit. Is that normal?
-
That is normal

Thanks LocDown. Is that what the little sliding "lock" button is for on the sd cards? I thought that if I had that little button in the lock position the maps on the sd card wouldn't load into my unit. Learning a lot here tonight. Thanks again

Yes, that is the write protect lock. You don't want your expensive map card accidentally getting borked right? :)

Well I have a couple of wayPoints on one of my lakemaster chips.. luckily it didn't hurt it any. That's the probably the most important thing I learned here tonight!
