It looks like if the subscription expires on the d/l version that no more map sections can be downloaded. Is this the same with the SD card?

Thanks, Mo.
Is the line color fast? A lot of my hi-vis braid fades badly in short order.
Do you find 20# has a large enough diameter or would you go with a heavier (thicker) line? -
