Reef Recon for Garmin (and Lowrance / Simrand)

[LSUALUM]

Even if they are different brand units? Say I go from lowrance now to a new boat with Garmin or I decide to change out my existing lowrance unit to a Garmin, Hbird, or Simrad? Just looking at all scenarios. After buying it and deciding to go a different direction isn’t the time to be asking the questions.

As long you delete the file off your old unit then I'll help you get a file for the new unit.. there's a $35 fee to do that if it's a different file type because it takes me time to do that. If you stay in the same brand and it doesn't require a different file type or version then you'll likely be able to install it on the new unit as long as you deleted it off the old unit that you're getting rid of.

Use gpx format. I use gpsbabel in linux to covert formats. The Garmin apps are a freaking mess can't keep up with the naming of.them anymore so I just use opensource gpsbabel or pay 35 buck for TS to do it.

I'll help you get a new file for the new unit... depends on what you end up going with.. small charge to get you a new file.. Think of it this way.. on third party maps they make us pay for complete new map or charge $100.

I help everyone when they change units. Love to keep all my peeps catching fish.

For those of you selling your old boat with Reef Recon on it.. remember to delete all your waypoints routes and tracks off your old unit. ... Or sell them the file for an extra $139 so you can get the new file for your new units. If you can delete the old file off the unit I can help you with a minimal charge get the file for the new unit.

Galveston is looking like it missed the big die off.. no one knows for sure just yet. We've not seen any dead but that doesn't mean we won't or that there isn't. Won't know for some time really.. but many are starting to get back out there and many more are looking to upgrade the boat or upgrade the GPS units.

Let me know how I can help. Making serious plans to start the next one.. it's a juggle doing everything I do ... Thank you all for telling your friends.. I've been blessed to have the best customers in the world.

Thank you

I think I’m sold. I’ll be buying this in the next week or so before I hit the water again for sure.
