Which chip do you guys use? Lakemaster, navionics?
Navionics, Hotmaps premium south. Far as I know, Lakemaster hasn't mapped these lakes down here yet.
I had a hard time findin a lakemaster chip. But i think there is a south east version with ms al fl ga ky and tn. Not sure of the lake listings tho. I have a lakemaster chip for home i like. But only the big lakes have extreme detail. And the smaller lakes are pretty plain. Is that the same way with navionics?
Pretty much....The big 4 are pretty detailed but a lot of the smaller lakes, not so much.
I use Navionics also, but I have both the Premium and the Platinum cards. I also have Insight in my HDS units which gives you a totally different look over the Navionics but not the detail of the Navionics. I can run both at the same time with my new HDS Touch 12 now that I fixed it. ;-)

I have navionics but use the one between my ears the most
I use navionics but I checked the lakemaster site yesterday. Lakemaster has recently released a SE version which covers Mississippi but doesn't have many lakes listed yet. The big 4 are not listed yet. The only reason it intrigues me is it Lists Okatibbee as a HD lake (but not Lakemaster HD). I don't know exatly what that means yet. I sent them an email.
I was getting ready to email em myself. Bigriver you make me jealous. Lol
Hehe. I have to use em to sell em, at least that's what I tell my wife when I buy that stuff. ;)

Bill, you just can't hide money.
FYI, I just received an email from Lakemaster on the SE States chip.
Hi Michael,
The map for Okatibbee is a accurate, high-definition, one-foot contour map.
If you have further questions, please contact us.

The map is limited and they will be expanding the number of lakes, but for those fishing Okatibbee it is another option.
Did they mention anything about the big four?

They're not listed yet. They have a list of supported lakes on their website. It's mostly Okatibbee and the Tenn-Tom waterway. I'm mostly interested because I'm from south Mississippi and fish primarily Okatibbee.
Ok. Thanks guys
