Ditto on the premium east chip -- awesome Winni map. I also have the Ifinder H20c -- its a great unit, make sure to buck up for the color version. Excellent quality display, have thoug I have the chip too I have not yet tried the chip in the unit yet. I will shortly, as like Salty my Lowrance LMS337 got flukey on me yesterday morning, in the fog before light, and that was no fun. Next time, I'll keep the ifinder H20c handy as a backup GPS.
From what they tell me Squam, will be on the next Navionocs update, but I think you guys need a break from Squam.
We did great on Winni the Sunday you went home and even better the folowing week, should have bought the trailer long ago.. Npw I have the best of both Worlds. I recomended Winni for you guys coming a that way to fish, Squam is a tough Lake, Winni and the whole area is a super Lake for a fishin vacation. Hope to see ya agai next year. Maybe I'll bring my barge down when your here, after Labor Day would be good, may get a deal on a rental on the water, etc..
That is great news about Squam being added to the list of lakes. Hopefully they do a HD survey of Squam too.
The plan right now is to come out next September. I'm already looking forward to it. We need to get together John for some fishing and dinner one of the nights we are in town. I'll e-mail you when we make definite plans. Thanks again for all the help this past year!
Trav's dad Bob as you can see is a realtor, maybe he can get you and you dad a good deal on a place, some come with boats. Contact him now so he will have a whole year to line something up fer ya.
I have this one and love it. I use it on my boat and will also be taking it ice fishing with me.
It is great for guaging your speed and as a reference. However, it does not really replace a map, rather it compliments them.
I don't have the HotMaps yet but do have the MapCreate software. I may get the HotMaps this year. I told John S I would hold out doing business with them until they get the Squam map published. :)
If you are mounting this on your boat and won't be using it as a portable then I would consider spending the extra and getting a full sized one. The screen is big enough to make out what you are doing but if you were going to be using it at any heavy frequency the zooming in and out may get annoying.
If your thinking about getting an I finder H2O C as your only gps better get a good magnifying glass.I've got one and the map card as a backup can hardly see the features,I know,my eyes aren't what they used to be.I'm glad it's only my backup.If it's your only unit go with the full size screen,at least a combo unit.
Its an excellent portable unit for the quality vs. money...I use it in the car too and while you need to zoom in / out as needed I don't find that to be a problem.
