While purchasing a backup handheld, I was thinking about my ray 425 chartplotter. The backlight was going out intermittent at the end of the season so I sent it to Ray for repairs (warranty). Got it back quick with a note that upgrade of software fixed the minor problem and the unit bench tested OK..
So back to the handheld....
Recently I found out from Lowrance that saved waypoints and routes do not save on the MM card that comes loaded with the maps etc..They store on the units own RAM.
So I e-mailed Raymarine and asked what would have happend to all the saved data that was appatently on the machine not the navionics card. They replied "It most likely has been erased during the software upgrade."
So I have lost all my fishing spot waypoints, routes etc. I'll know for sure when I uncover the boat and plug the CP in.
Probably (with my luck) its all gone and I will have lots of reprogramming to do this spring.
