Copying a mapcard

[NCkenner]

Is there a way to make a copy of a map card without ruining the original card?
Here's my thoughts.... I bought a card but I have two different boats. Since I own the original, what's wrong with making a clone for my personal use on the other boat to keep from removing and swapping every time?
I don't want to do anything immoral, illegal, or even sketchy. It would just be easier this way.

Thoughts/Ideas?

That won't work with Navionics because there is a card-unique hash code (signature) written on there that will not be correct on another card. Not sure what brand map card you have, but I would hazard a guess they are all using something similar for copy-protection.

Thanks for the help. I have an older Navionics (2009 I think) card but just bought a new lake master card and would like to copy it for use on both boats Humminbird units. 998C HDSI and Helix 12 mega.

Just bought 2 new hummingbird's and a card for each. Honest people would do the right thing and others would duplicate and sell for money. I feel your pain.

You can go to Lakemaster and download each lake for 7 to 10 bucks each. It takes a card per lake however. If they have the lake you fish .

I'll look into the lakemaster single lake option. It would be nice if you could add them individually to the basemap.

Thanks guys!

I would have like to done this for Joe Pool Lake. But it appears they do not offer this service for this lake.
