International Maps for Lawrance Endura

[+TheBumpusHounds]

Hello. I have spent several day searching for information and feel like I may be in over my head. I have a Lowrance Endura Out&Back. I am doing some international travel and hoped to catch a few caches while out. How do I get international maps? Or for that matter, any maps other than the default, stock map?

 

I appreciate any help you can give a newbie

You probably aren't in over your head... but you may well be facing a brick wall.

 

Lowrance has been outside of the geocaching scene for some time now. While they may currently produce hand-held units, I believe that ALL of their units are geared primarily towards marine navigation.

 

They have excellent marine charts/maps available.

 

In 2008 they announced a complete overhaul to their line... dunno for sure, but they probably dumped their land navigation line of units at that time.

 

Their industry classification is that of Marine Electronics, and are now owned by Navico, of Egersund, Norway.

 

I do not know if still available, this site purports to have microSD cards with Topo and routeable maps for the Endura: http://www.software-maps.com/lowrance-endura-microsd-outdoor-accuterra-maps.htm

 

It may be worth a look-see.

As Gitchee-Gummee said, Lowrance has abandoned the Endura line, so finding international maps is probably a lost cause. I have an Endura Sierra, and there is no support for it from Lowrance or anywhere else. Your best bet is to buy a Garmin handheld. Lots of free and "pay for" maps available for the Garmins.

Thank you both so much! Guess it's time for an upgrade
