Jay,
Hmm. Their website at http://www.lei-extras.com/store/search.asp shows current aviation database updates for the Airmap 300 available for 75 $ (single update, subscription is 61 $). Not sure what the problem is. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)

My 300 will no longer recognize that -- or any other -- database. Without even looking at it, Lowrance diagnosed it as a "chip" problem. It's apparently a very common problem with the 300. They told me they can no longer obtain that particular chip. Thus, the 300 is orphaned. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I finally figured it happened when ever certain VOR's were in the route. I reported it to Lowrance and got a reply that they confirmed the problem and would look into it. A couple of weeks later they sent me an email saying that aviation was not a big enough part of their revenue to make fixing it worthwhile. I am still using my Airmap 100, but my next GPS will not come from Lowrance.
