The lake insite that comes with the units is not very detailed. I fish
Truman and loz a lot and going to get the new version of lake masters
for the increased detail. I have an older navionics chip now and they
are good but unable to update if made before 5/2010.
Low gen 2 well share mapping via ethernet but only gen2 to gen2Quote:
