Hjones:
I have a 689 ci di gps on the bow and a Helix 5 di gps at the console. I got the Navionics maps with the Helix 5. My question is can I use the same Navionics for the 688 and if I can please tell me.

frugalangler:
you should be able to use the card in either unit, IIRC the new Helix is micro so in the 689 you would need an SD micro adapter - but you can't 'copy' the card and use it in both at the same time

Hjones:
Ok thank you. Yeah I was wondering if I could use it on both at the same time somehow. So I guess I would have to buy a whole new navionics chip for the other one then.

frugalangler:
Unfortunately, that is correct. I am in the same predicament having both as 'birds, fortunately if I need GPS up front I've a backup Lowrance that I've got a card for so I can at least check something.
