I have done all steps. I have a uhd2 94SV and a uhd1 93sv both linked together via Ethernet cable. I see all my waypoints I’ve created via the app when looking for good spots but it’s not showing the high resolution relief shading on either plotter. I wish I just bought the SD card rather than subscription.

Garmin Marine needs to seriously consider how to improve what should be a really simple user experience. I want the most up to date firmware and maps I've paid for on my chart plotter. I'd really like to know what map package I should buy (e.g. Do I need inland with Michigan, or the one that says Great Lakes for Lake Michigan, what is Platinum+ vs. Vision+, etc.).

Garmin marketing is making it impossible to understand what they are selling. Garmin app designers are making it impossible to use any of it even if you figure it out.

I wish I could give this post two thumbs down.

😢😢I just spent about $1, 500 on a 94sv with charts. I downloaded the 2 garmin navionics boating and captain apps. I've been calling the technicians for 3 days and they don't even know how to pair the apps. I think I'll sell everything cheap and go with Lowrence, which has the best. same and everything is already programmed
