Title: Navionics Hotmaps Coverage?
Post by: 1javelin on April 05, 2007, 12:24:07 PM
How limited is the lake coverage of these Navionics cards?  Will they cover jsut the big lakes, or can you get Paw Paw, Magician, the likes of those on there also?  Looked at the website and could not find a list of lakes, maybe somebody on here knows where I can find that at.  Thanks for any help.

Call D and R Sports  800-992-1520 and have one of the salesman read off the list of lakes from the MI card.  It has a ton of lakes and some that you would never expect.  I am not sure if the Navionices website lists them individually or not.

On another note.  Do not expect them to be "exact"  I have experienced some real weird differences.  But that was 3-4 years ago and they were asking fisherman to submit the differences so they could fix them.  It would put you in the area though so it was a big help on lakes i was unfamiliar with.

ex.   on muskegon the card showed me driving my boat on land 25 yrds on shore when I was really drving right down the midde of the channel going out to the big lake.

Not sure which Card you want so I gave links to each.

I have the Navionics and the LakeMaster chips.  LakeMaster is WWWWWWWAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY more accurate, but they don't cover quite as many little inland lakes.  Navionics has more lakes for that and it is a start.

Hands down - go with LakeMaster
