    Default Mapping Cards for Lowrance HDS Touch


    Today, littlemama and I had our cranking trip with Doug ( MrDux), and we had a blast. During our trip, I realized that I was falling into a deep deep trace with the Lakemaster V3 map card. I am have a nervous stomach right now after some research, so somebody please help me.
    One of the biggest features that got me interested was the ability to color code different depth ranges, so that it is more profound. I currently have a lowrance mapping card and really use the 2D shading most of the time.
    Is there a map card available with this feature for Lowrance HDS Touch units???

    I saw it in person last week. It is really impressive. It made me switch to a new Helix.

    LakeMaster is the only mapping product that allows Depth Highlight and Highlight Range to color a certain depth contour as Green (in stark contrast to the shades of blue) ...

    Navionics has the Depth Shading which allows the different shades of blue to change at a certain depth contour ...

    Someone else will have to add info about Insight for Lowrance and Max-Def from Garmin ...

    Garmin Lakevu Ultra card will do pretty much the same thing I think, you can set multiple different ranges whatever color shade you want. It works well and is a fantastic feature. But at this time only Kentucky Lake is MaxDef with Garmin, Barkley is sourced and basically garbage. Doesn't do much good do shade a depth if it isn't accurate.

    I also just plain prefer Lakemaster chart over Garmin on Kentucky even where they are fairly comparable, just a little better product. Imo opinion right now no matter what sonar you want to run on Kentucky/Barkley your missing out if you don't at least have a Hbird with Lakemaster or a tablet or something and Fishsmart.
