I have the H20 for about half year now. I also use Navionics Hotmap Premium. You will be pleased.

Now back to watching the game!

That'll work. I use a Magellan Explorist 600. Definitely get the maps, but: If possible, download it rather than buy the SD card. I don't know about Lowrance, but Magellan has it on a small capacity SD card without a lot of storage space, and you can't copy it to another card. By downloading it I was able to load it onto a bigger card and have the storage space I wanted. If I had it to do over again I'd get the Ifinder.

What card is it? Because I don't see anything else except contours, buoy, docks and timber on KY lake in hot map premium 08, not the brush piles, rip rap nor foundations

hey bassbandit , do you have indiana lakes on your card ? If so can you tell me what my local lakes show before I buy the product to know if its worth it ?

BassBandit · 02-01-09, 11:44 PM

Just check and yes there's lakes in IN on it. Depends on which lake your looking for.

Edit- lakes that are on my card http://www.navionics.com/Premium08La...asp?RegionID=3

the h20 is a great handheld unit. i have used the regular h20 before i bought the h20c, if you can swing it the h20c is the way to go because the color screen makes a world of difference.

BassBandit · 02-01-09, 11:48 PM

Yeah but have heard they can be difficult to see under bright days. I haven't try the color version so that's why I went with black/white, cheaper too.

rangerryan · 02-01-09, 11:59 PM

my dad has one and he loves it and i will tell you it will put you right on top of any spot that you mark.

BassinBandit · 02-02-09, 01:13 AM

I gave H2O and it is great. I would recomend it

BassBandit, check out http://www.fishinghotspots.com. The maps that I have looked at show the features that you're asking about. It also shows locations of known Fish Attractor sites.
