I have the Map Create 7.0. That's what I recommend. The Freedom maps work too, but if you have the Map Create software, you can browse and look up maps on your computer as well. I don't know if any outside software works with Lowrance, so probably plan on the Map Create 7.0.

Okay, I have a 540C, and I have just installed MapCreate 7. I have a 1GB SD card ready to use, but I cannot not "register" it, because I don't have the LEI card reader.

Is this true? Is there a work around for this?

If there is no work around, where do you get the card reader? http://www.lei-extras.com/ does not have it, nor does http://www.lowrance.com/en/Products/Accessories/

I'm pretty bummed not to be able to use this thing.

Also, anyone else having issues running MapCreate 7 on Vista?

The newest update allows you to take a jpg picture of the current screen on the GPS and saves it to the memory card. Pretty cool!

What changes are made in this update?

* Production-only changes
* Includes all features from previous updates, including:

o Added Lowrance HD radar support via serial communications

o Added Greek language

o Added Polish language

o Added ability to take a screenshot capture of the display on the unit and save to a card/hard drive – In Screen Snapshot mode, use the power key to capture the screenshot

o Added Navionics Platinum support including 3D view and panoramic photos

o Added support for the Lowrance Broadband Sounder-1

o Updated language translations

o Improved sonar digital depth tracking in weeds and over bluffs

o Improved Navionics support

o Changed Map/Sonar/Radar page to be resizeable

o Modified memory card reading functionality

o Enhanced Navionics support

o Enhanced NauticPath electronic chart support

Other than the screenshot capture and possibly the modified memory card reading functionality, the rest of the update is pretty useless to an offroad vehicle. :oops:

The Greek and Polish language might come in handy if you get stuck or break something!
