Which Maps to go with my LowranceH20 GPS?

[cityfisher]

Hi all,

 

Just got a Lowrance H20 GPS. Want to get some Maps for it but not sure which set I should go for.. Fish mostly the great lakes and the kawarthas/Simcoe.

 

I noticed they had two differnt types.. MARINE maps which has a Great lakes and maritmies map set and I also noticed a navionics Hotmaps premium for Canada.

 

What do you have?

 

Thanks all.

I purchased the Navionics HotMaps for Canada - 2007 version I believe. I run in it both my LCX 28C and my H2O unit. I don't fish the great lakes, but it does well for the inland waterways that I visit - notably Nipissing.

 

I fish the French River a few times each year, which is not on any these chips. To get around that, I purchased MapCreate Canada and made my own maps. Thye work OK for navigation, but it only shows the contours. I can still save my trails, Waypoints, and ICONS and such, and that's about as good as it gets for me with the Map Create 6.

Navionics 2008 Premium HotMaps have a $50 rebate going on until the end of the year. I just order mine from Cabela's for next year's trip. I am sure Navionics must have something new coming out for next year if there is a $50 rebate offer, but I checked out the lake list and it covers all the lakes I intend to fish for the foreseeable future
