Billy Bob Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 I have a 2008 Navionics Premium East Card that I use for most my areas and it was also good for Stoney Lake 2 years ago.....but now with a trip up to Cliffs on Sturgeon Lake this year I was hoping it would cover me there also...but guess what...the card stops at Pigeon Lake.... So my question is....does anyone have a card that covers Sturgeon Lake and what card is it ? Bob
fisherboy Posted March 17, 2011 Report Posted March 17, 2011 My Navionics Great Lakes SD card covers Sturgeon Lake. I think the number is 14XG Gold+. I'm pretty sure that my HotMap Premium 08 also covers it...
Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 What's the number on your card Bob? Roy, on the card it reads as follows: HotMaps Premium East SD/PREM-E4 V01.20 SN000600553426
John Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Hi Bob, I know that Cliff bought a new Lowrance unit for his Princecraft last year. I am sure he has the right card for Sturgeon. Knowing Cliff I am sure he will work something out for you.
Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 After pulling the EAST card out for the numbers that Roy requested I was going to put in a card that covers the French River but this card doesn't have depths, etc......LOW and BEHOLD I found the CANADA HotSpots Premium card purchased about 3 years ago and it in deed covers all the Kawarthans including Sturgeon Lake...DUH ! ! !
John Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Good stuff Bob! Now you only have how long to wait...?
Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 Good stuff Bob! Now you only have how long to wait...? That's if I don't forget to go.....
Big Cliff Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 You don't need a card for Sturgeon Lake, we just sit on the dock and catch fish
Billy Bob Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Posted March 18, 2011 You don't need a card for Sturgeon Lake, we just sit on the dock and catch fish Sounds like my kind of fishing....and I'll bring the beer....errrr bait...
John Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 You don't need a card for Sturgeon Lake, we just sit on the dock and catch fish Can you rent me a spot on the dock next to Bob for a few days......
bassfanatic25 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 I have got the latest Navionics Hotmaps Canada card(MSD/HM-C). It does have Sturgeon Lake and it is in HD, which means more contour lines and detail compared to the older Hotmaps Premium cards.

Problem is my "old" LMS 520c unit will not compute anything above a Premium card.
bassfanatic25 Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 The most recent Hotmaps Canada card will indeed work on your LMS-520. I know a few friends that run that card on that exact unit!

Yes and NO......Hotmaps and Hotmaps Premium will work in the LMS 520c but NOT Hotmaps Platinum as per Navionics own website....http://www.navionics.com/MarineCompatiblePlotters_PlatinumPlus.asp?GuideType=1 So be careful what you buy....taking the map cards can be almost impossible to take back once opened.
