So I have been working on a Google map of my area. Map shows up fine on Lowrance at all resolutions. I have decided to add shapefiles for navigation lined, buoys and obstructions that I have taken from NOAA and converted into single shapefiles in QGIS.

I have created all of those with correct ( I think ) attributes but when I add them to the AT5 files on my SD card, the navigation line shows up below the google raster map. The point icons for buoys, obstructions, etc. show up fine above the map image. I have messed with multiple advanced setting and attributes and cant seem to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated.

When I turn off shaded relief on the Lowrance unit, I can see the line and buoys. Once I turn on shaded relief I can only see the buoys. The line is specified as an Area and not a line.

My line attributes are:
L_LIMIT  -  Value  - 1
U_LIMIT  - Value - 15
Layer       -  Value - 1
Color      - Value  -14
MAJ_CAT  -  Value  - Nav Line

In advanced options in Vector Mode, I have Group Geometry checked although I have tried it with it unchecked as well.

Any help would be greatly  appreciated.

This is what it looks like when I take Shaded Relief off. As you can see, you can see the yellow nav line.

Have you enabled the "auto create xml" feature in the IMC?

If so, you'll only be able to proceed if you can view your shape file attribute table. E.g. L_LIMIT = 1 can be a problem, better is "0"

Thank you for the reply, I did have Auto XML on and set all attributes correctly. I did figure out my issue and fixed it. 

The NOAA data for "Fairway" which is a line, auto creates as an area instead so I had to convert to a line when creating the shapefile. Then set the layer order for the line and that fixed everything.
