Formatting MMCs

If you have an older MMC that has been formatted by a parallel port
Lowrance MMC Interface card reader, the card format may not be com-
patible with your newer USB port MMC card reader. If that's the case,
you can preserve your historic GPS data by copying it to your hard
drive with your older parallel port reader. The older MMC can then be
reformatted so it will work with the newer USB card reader.

Formatting your MMC will remove all data from the
card. Be sure to save any important files to your hard
drive before formatting the MMC.
To reformat an MMC:
1. Insert the MMC you wish to format into the card reader.
