Mike,

Where is your iPad mounted? Can you post a pic of your iPad mount?

Thanks!

Default Card size and missing Luke SRA

I just received an update SD card in the mail.

The card is a 1GB SD card, but only has about 380MB of data on it, of which 310MB looks like terrain data. So that leaves 60% of the capacity free.

I have been very anxiously awaiting an update since early last year when Luke AFB had their "special rules area" turned on. Well, unfortunately, with the new update the Luke SRA does NOT appear to be depicted on the map. I have been through every map option and detail category there is to no avail.

Anybody know if I am missing something obvious before I go pursue their tech support?
BTW, I am using a Lowrance 1000.

Thanks.

Larry,
Check out the Picasa link. It's very sturdy. I purchased it from www.gpscity.com

Thanks Mike, the iPad sure takes up some space on the panel! It looks like the ram mount is bolted to your panel making for a solid mount.

The acronym may be SATR. Here is some info

When I get my new 430W update I will see if it shows up. Looks busy in that area.

Default Jeppesen updates for the AirMap 500, 600, 1000, & 2000c

Jeppesen updates for the AirMap 500, 600, 1000, & 2000c will only be available through July 2011.

If anyone is looking for a Lowrance database update, now is the time to do so.

Thanks Gary. I was planning on doing it soon since my home airport ID changed so I better do it ASAP.

Database update ordered.

My update arrived 19 April. Put it in and checked to see if our airport ID changed from 00V to KFLY.

Odd. 00V is still there. Looks like KFLY may be there but there is a boxed X over it. Scroll in just the right place and I can see KFLY.

This morning I deleted all my flight planning routes that contain 00V and recheck. 00V is gone. KFLY is there with no X. Everything is fine.

Thanks, Tim, for confirming it's a 1GB card that ships with the Jepp update. I don't have terrain on my 2000c so if I bomb off the terrain files I'll still be able to get all my topo map data on the card. This is good. This is very good indeed!

I've been searching the Lowrance (LEI Extras) website and have found nothing other than fishing hotspot datacards. YUCK! Not sure but suspect this might come as a result of me being based in Canada.

Does anybody happen to know the part number for the aviation database update? Please, pretty please, will you share that info with me?
