Folks,

I have a Lowrance Airmap 100 and a new (not current, but close)
database. I've tried to load the database, but the jeppson.exe program
says "Must be run from the floppy drive". The problem is that the
database file is too large for a 1.44MB floppy. I've never done this
before, so can anybody walk me through it?


John,

If the Lowrance airmap 100 was designed to read data from a floppy
disk, there is nothing that you can do. Of course, one can zip a big
file to fit 1.44mb floppy but the zipped file will not be recognized by
the airmap. If I am not mistaken, the airmap 100 is no longer
supported (ie, one can not uprade to a newer, bigger database).
However, Lowrance has a pretty generous upgrade/exchange program. A
friend of mine had the Airmap300, he got something like $300 for it
towards the Oshkosh price for the Lowrance 2000 (something like $800 a
month after Oshkosh) so he net cost for the nice color Lowrance 2000 is
only $500.

Hai Longworth

You are correct, but this is supposedly a database _for_ an Airmap 100.
