I hope they do something about improving the Lakes in Louisiana. There is not enough coverage for me to Buy for my Depth finder
Now that's gonna spark some discussions ...

You could be right, Rickie .... I thought HB already owned Navionics :scratchhead (& Lakemaster) ... or at least they're the ones compatible with HB units. Hot Spots is compatible with Lowrance, but not HB. I think that's right, anyway.Quote:

As far as I am concerned Garmin has ruined Delorme and you get no more emails on upgrades to software or maps anymore either about Delorme. Just have to wait and see if the same thing happens to Navionics of which I hope not but I don’t see anything good about this.
HB owns LakeMaster ...Quote:

Hmmm..knowing how Garmin has done their mapping lately,shutting out competitors, begs the question....soon to be incompatible with anything other than Garmin?
to tell you the truth I really don't care what all these companies do with there mapping.it's not that big a deal. 3d,4d satellite imagery. "Just a big old money pit":crazy:Quote:

Agreed.
I'm sure they're not going to keep Lowrance as a customer or support them very long, and that's where it starts...
I agree.Quote:
