MapCreate 6... Can it make a map for the 332C?

AFAIK, but could be wrong, any unit that works with 6.3 will work with 6 - the map file format output created by these versions is the same.
Is the v6. upgreadable to 6.3? Yes and no. LEI concept is different from Garmin concept. Garmin has one mapping software (MapSource) and a bunch of different maps that can be used by that software and loaded to the receiver. Lowrance maps are integrated with software so, the newer one replaces the older one. The upside is, you don't have to get separately topo maps and city maps and whatever. MapCreate has it all, you just pick the type of data you want to have in the map that will be loaded to the unit hence; you are "creating a map". The downside is: if you are getting the new version, you have to uninstall the old version. In theory, why would you want the older version if the new one has all that the old one had + more data + newer data?

I don't think that you even need any software for these maps. Just load the free maps to the card and the receiver should be able to read them.
