Topo chips
Guys, any preferences on what is the best chip to put in my unit? I have a lowrance, looking for one with the most lakes and best detail.

On the mapping, it depends on what lakes you fish. I use both the built-in Lowrance mapping (shows all the pre-impoundment features well - roadbeds, creek channels, foundations, bridges, etc.) and the Navionics Hotmaps Premium cards (High Def lakes have 1-foot contours). If your lakes are included in the Navionics HD list (highlighted in red, see link below), I'd recommend getting one.

I have the fishing hotspots. I bought it because it has most all lakes in it without having to buy a certain region.

What model Lowrance do you have? I ask because if it's too old, the Navionics cards won't work in them.
All the Lowrance updates are found here: http://www.lowrance.com/en/Downloads...tware-Updates/

So John you went hunting on another board somewhere huh fess up you can tell us we're all friends here right?
While I got ya - you know you can take the SD card out of your phone and view the pictures you have stored on it right on the GPS screen? Y'know on a slow day, when you get tired of looking at dinks and wanna check out some bigguns? Back in a quiet little cove. Pass a little time when things get slow. |
