Default Lowrance 600C question

I just got a 600C and have a question: Terrain does not seem to appear in
any zoom level smaller than 30nm. Is this just a setting I have wrong?

What kind of unit do you have, US American or Internationl (it says on the
box). If you look at terrain outside the coverage area of the detailled
terrain, you might get this effect.

The box says global, but the MMC card says America's.

Weird. Well, if the card says Americas, then you'll get less accurate
terrain outside the Americas. You might even get less accurate terrain
in South America, but that's something for Lowrance support to answer.
Where did you look? Do you see terrain vanishing everywhere below 30
nm? Have you checked the "Map Categories Drawn..." part of the menu?

I think I found the problem. Certain areas of Alaska exhibit the problem,
while others don't.

Complain to Lowrance support. It might help.
