I was asked to forward this information on in case you guys hadn't heard....
Please be advised - not only does Lowrance NOT make/sell any more Aviation GPS units, you cannot get
a Jeppeson navdata update for them either! I just looked at the LEI site - no updates since April.
I then sent a note to Jeppeson to see if they would supply any data updates for Lowrance units.
Below is the query and dismal answer:
==================================
To: Support@JeppDirect
Subject: Data updates
It appears that Lowrance no longer supplies the Jepp updates for their 1000 and 2000C GPS units.
Will these updates be supplied by you for downloading?
==================================
Their response:
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the long delay in responding to you
Unfortunately, we have stopped all support on all Lowrance Units
Lowrance has shut down there Aviation Group and we have no further word if they will continue!
When they shut down, we stopped all Navdata Production for those units.
I myself, have the Airmap 2000c and now it's a good paperweight!
I'm forced to buy a Garmin
Sorry Sir
