How to inexpensively set up Mapping - Easy Update

[Bigcloud]

Update on setting up Mapping on a 2019 Malibu 22MXZ......  it worked!!!  Very easy!!!   Cost ....... $15 for GPS antenna and $142 for the Navionics SD card  .....total  $157   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dealer would charge $650 to $700

 

I bought this GPS antenna off of Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LXRQY9A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I bought a "Navionics+ North" chip from the local sporting goods store.  You need to buy Navionics+ (and then the chip for your region)  Lakemaster chips will not work, must be Navionics.

 

Simply put the chip in the Map slot under the dash,  next screw on the GPS antenna under the dash to the open spot near the spot you installed the Navonics SD card.  Run the cable and install the actual antenna in front of the windsheild  (anywhere conveinant in the open air/sky.

 

Good Luck!
