A while ago someone said the pipe at Dana Point wasn't on the gold cards even though it is shown on the web app, but I found the pipe is on my chart.

Maybe you can update your maps? I would think that software updates are for the OS only, and map updates are a separate download.

MLPA's are on Navionics Gold as well as Navionics+ which is what I am using right now.

Is there a reason you have to delete the update from card? To save space? What I just did was downloaded update to card and inserted in FF. When upload was done I just pulled the chip out, turned on unit and inserted card while the unit was on.

Will it now try to update everytime I turn on?

Mine read the update every time I turned it on and updated go figure
so I just deleted it from my card. As far as the MLPA's maybe because I already have the areas marked off as tracks I cant see the included data. it looks like the lines are fine compared to the bold tracks(see image below). I will try to look at the FF and turn off the tracks and see if it is there.

over at Bd in the socal section under the MLPA there is a post titled something like mlpas for your chartplotter by Dean Bankrobber. He took the time to create all the mlpas as tracks/waypoints and shared them. I was able to import them into my FF and it works great. It amazes me that he can do it but a multi-million dollar company like Navico cant for something that they charge for.

Outstanding. Heading to BD now for those MLPA's. Thanks!

Buskid, I believe those pink lines on the screenshot are the MLPA's

the lines on the photo I posted are Deans points and tracks I changed them to pink look closely and you will see the way-point squares.
I get off at 7 pm tonite and I'm Heading to the boat tonite after work so i will turn off all my tracks and points and see.

nope the mlpa's are not there so I went to update my charts and the updater tells me my subscription is expired. WTF I bought it in march of this year. so I sent a email to customer support and we will see.

Sometimes navionics customer service is a little shaky in my experiences.

Good luck!

So I contacted navionics and well to put it kindly the suck wet monkey nuts, when it comes to customer service. They insisted that the gold card is not a navionics card even though it contains their data. WTF? So I got in touch with Lowrance. After a few Emails to and from Greg Hunter problem solved with a vengeance. Thanks to Greg and the team at Lowrance.

Is it showing the MLPAs now?

I just updated my elite 7 and my gold card and the MLPA is not showing when I load up navionics coastal. Is there any setting I have to change for it to display?

[YakDout]

Yes. Go to the main screen. Hit menu, then charts, then change from the navionics version to the fish and chips charts. Look again and you should have the MLPA's
