Couple Crazy Thoughts On Sd Cards/storage And Fishfinders

[jhoffman]

So, my elite 4 has 1 micro sd slot. Which means I can run the map or I can run the card to take pics of sonar.

 

Couple thoughts

 

1: Could I copy the map folder(I already copied it to my desktop for backup) into the normal micro sd and then be able to see my maps and save?

 

2: Could you buy one of the micro sd to usb adaptors as such(http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/21/microsd-to-usb-mobidapter-is-a-smartphones-best-friend/) and then hook up an external hard drive giving you an endless supply of storage? Heck, you might even be able with the usb to put it directly to a laptop.

 

Thoughts?

Might try option one at least, it wont cost me a dime. Ive read about people needing two cards, I wonder why you couldnt just copy all files to another card.

If you have a Navionics chip you can call them at their Wareham, MA headquarters.  Chances are they will refer you to the Fugawi Canada headquarters.  I have had a couple of occasions to contact Fugawi, and they have always provided me with the proper information, and answers to my questions.
