maps software
i just got back from bass pro shops and the monkey didnt get me to bad but i did buy a pc/dvd navionics hot maps. it allows you to plot way points and view maps of more than 10000 lakes im still learning how to use it but so far its awsome. just wondering if any one has used this software.

Is that the DVD that is only $20?
If so I plan to order it as soon as I get a chance. From what I hear it is great for the price, and I love maps. |

I went with the hot spot chip, but they are lakes here in AR that are not enhanced on it like Lake Hamilton and I need the Navionics chip. Plus that will be better in my hand held I hunt finder when duck hunting in Bayou Meto and Turkey hunting in the Ouachita Mountains.
While at a BFL tourny last summer the Rep in the Lowrance both had to use the Nav. chip for Lake Hamilton where the tourny was held and I looked at the features some but was more interested on settings on my lowrance unit. So, at some point I plan to get one for the lakes not on the hot spot chip and for hunting purposes.

i was at the basspro in Oklahoma City c-rig and it good to hear that i wasnt the only one the bait monkey got to. and yes bender it only cost 20 bucks it is definately worth the money. you can print almost any lake map that you want the only thing is you have to pay 20 bucks extra to get that map in high definition but all that it is, you get the contours in one foot increments instead of 10' but it serves its purpose well. by the way C-RIG have you ever fished lake Hudson?

woody, it is an upgrade made by navionics you just load it onto your computer from their website it makes the lake maps show more contour. but it costs 19.99 per lake map so ill probably do without.

you can print the lake maps without them being in high def. and they are still really detailed.

Ranger Ryan, Don't forget about the Navionics Trade In Program. How old is your present chart? And what area are you fishing, N, S, E, W or Canada? Some of our areas have a LOT of new survey lakes. Just keep in mind that your old chart is always worth $$ when traded in. Larry Carr Navionics Inc |

You are going to LOVE that DVD. Does more than you will ever imagine. Swap waypoints between different brands of plotters and hand helds, print maps, pre-fish a lake and trade waypoints with you tournaments buddies. Larry |

Jason,
1) Downloading....no can do. It is a DVD and has a lot of MB of info. Plus, for the same reason a lot of DVD info is not allowed to be downloaded, like many of the software products. We can control the data better, plus there is over 40MB of info (it would take forever to download with many servers) and for our valuable retailers to be able to keep the doors open by making a small profit. We do not sell anything direct. 2) You are correct about transfering waypoints, routes and tracks. The other nice thing is that you can save your plotters waypoints in many brands of plotters file format and download them in other brands file formats. What this allows you to do is share waypoints with your angling friends even if they have a diffeent brand of plotters. This is the best $20 you can spend because it works for with about any brand of hand held or full size gps plotter...Lowrance, H-Bird, Raymarine, Furuno, Magellan, Garmin, etc. Our partner in this venture, Fugawi, does an unbelievable job in writing code that will make our data work on your PC. Email me who your favorite tackle dealer is and I'll mkae sure they get some in stock if they don't already. lcarr at navionics dot com. Larry |
