My GP 1870 F does not retain the chart.

[Angel]

Hello and thank you for this great page. I have the GP 1870 F, it has a 4D card that works perfectly, I have put another one in and it works, it works, but when I turn the equipment back on it is erased. Can you help me? Thank you very much.

Can you post a picture of what you see on the chart.
Also a picture of the new card, adapter, and box it came in?

Hi. Thank you very much for your interest. The chart is the C-MAP 4D /EW-Y311 of the Canary Islands/Azores and Madeira. It is the blue cover, the other is of Gibraltar and is the one that Furuno brings and works perfectly without problems. But the EW-Y 311 is received by Furuno without problems, the chart zone lines appear, it gives very good detail of the coastal bottoms, but I turn it off and on and it does not memorize it. Let's see what you think, Thanks.

I'll tell you. The white button on the SD card is normally unlocked, but when unlocked the Plotter didn't receive the information. When I locked it, it did receive it, but when I turned it off and on it lost it. I changed the SD card for another 64 GB card, but the same thing continues. And I'm lost there too.

Here in Spanistang nobody answers...because they don't know.

These are the images in which the areas can be seen. I think that the card is faulty because after a minute of working correctly it stops for a minute and the area of the card is lost. Thank you for your interest.

From those photos, it looks like you are just zoomed/ranged out too far on the (92) image.

FishTech, Thank you. I put the chart in the 1870F and it memorises it and shows me the screen correctly with the chart zones. I enlarge it and it shows the backgrounds correctly. A minute later the screen freezes for a minute and restarts, when it finishes the detailed areas of the chart disappear. I have noticed something strange. The adapter normally has the white dot for locking facing down in Open for the mini SD chart to work. Having it facing down does not memorise the chart, if I put it facing up in the lock zone it DOES memorise the chart. But whether I leave it in the lock zone or lower it to the standard position, I have tried all kinds of combinations and it keeps erasing the detailed zone. I hope this research will be fruitful for anyone else who has a similar problem. Thank you.​

If your 1870F is freezing and restarting when using one specific card, it is likely a bad-corrupt card. This is likely the case considering you say that the other card works perfectly.

Marine technology from major brands like Furuno and C-MAP is so reliable that it's hard to believe anything could break. Thank you very much. Have a nice day.
