Lowrance HDS SD card max size

Anyone know what the largest size SD card the new HDSs can cope with, looked in various manuals and they do not state a max size. Some elctronics have a 2 Gb limit.

Size limit on memory cards usually has to do with the file system used to address it.

I'd be surprised if Lowrance used a system that had a 2Gb limitation.

That said, I haven't found the spec, either. Perhaps a phone call is in order?

32 Gig should allow you to self-chart most of the Atlantic.


Thanks for posting.
