bucont Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I am looking at the purchase of one of these chips for my GPS on my boat. Can anyone tell me if there is a seperate navionics chips for different manufactures like Humminbird and Lowrance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosehead Posted April 6, 2011 Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 I think they are compatible with all brands, i have one that i had for a lowrance that is now in a humminbird, works fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranks bait Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've got one of these somewhere in my basement. I cannot get it to work with my unit. I think they are only good in the us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the case. Just make sure you get a chip that is for the area you want & is compatible with your Fishfinder/GPS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Humminbirds & Lowrances are good though. The new Fish'N Chip is not generally good for Eagles though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Bob Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Go on Navionics website and check if that particular chip is compatible with the unit you intend to use it in.....for example my LMS 520C unit will work with a Navionics Premium chip but not their newer Platinum chip that the HDS units will accept. So it's best to make sure because you can't return them Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dara Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Why are you going fish n chip...I'm looking at it as well and a pro fisherman is telling me the Gold is the way to go. He doesn't like the screen display on fishnchip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucont Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I generally fish the great lakes, huron, st clair and erie plus add the Detroit and st Clair rivers both US and CDN sides. My understanding is the coverage on this SD is better for the areas I fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
