You can create as many maps as you like, but they will only work on the first five memory cards that you register with the MapCreate 7 software.

Note: You must use an LEI branded memory card reader/writer for MapCreate 7 to work properly.

Note: If MapCreate 7 freezes upon execution on a computer running Windows XP with Service Pack 2, please read this solution document for a temporary work-around.

Very good product. I had heard there was some problems with the software but I have had none and it is very good. It even has most lakes loaded and saved me a ton on having to purchase additional maps. Very easy to use! Great product!

Great software. Very easy to use. Would highly recommend this over purchasing the pre-loaded memory cards. More options for your money. Very quick shipping from tiger gps also.

I was really looking forward to this product, and have been able to make 6 excellent maps. The problem is that it has taken me > a month to do it. The software constantly locks up with RunTime and I/O device errors, and support is non existent. The busy signal for LEI & Lowrance is like a bad song stuck in myhead. E-mail support? Over a week and still no work. On-line support. AWOL. Maybe better to wait for a non-Beta version!!! Beware and good luck!

The software does the job. I could have been more user friendly but it was still easier than others. I would recommend it.

I have not used it away from the house yet, but everything loaded onto my PC with no problems. Created a map on the SD card and when plugged into the GPS unit made a big difference in the view. So far I am pretty happy with it. We will see when the boat hits the water just how happy I am.
