So, probably a dumb question and I should already know the answer, but is mapping software/sd cards limited just to Garmin? My units came preloaded with Lake Vue HD, but first time on a lake with the new units and all I had was an outline, no other info. Just curious if there is anything else out there...
Thanks
Just depends on the lake, whether you have LakeVu HD or LakeVu HD Ultra

Then there is the spring update coming soon with new lakes.

If the lakes are on the current interactive map and list "shoreline only" is there a chance they will be included in the update to at least get some depth shading and contours?
LWINCHESTER2, how am I gonna fish James with an outline map only?
yeah, the map coverage here in NC sucks, to say the least. Nothing has contours on the Yadkin chain, yet Twitty has HD contours. Really, WTF Garmin.
I suppose your worried about the BFL regional on James? I know I am.
With your fingers crossed:smile:
Hey Dave, I was actually referring to Lake James, we have a small cabin up there and I could really use some detailed mapping to help find those smallies. And your right, nothing for the Yadkin chain, really sucks...Quote:

how do you do a QD map without a shoreline like the hb zero line card
Other option would be to use Navionics on your PC, combined with homeport, and mark your "likely" waypoints before even hitting the water. That's what I do regardless. Then you can QD those spots once on the water.
Hello Brad,
I will be happy to help. We do not have a list of lakes that will be updated or added. Once the update is released, you can check a website called lakes.garmin.com. You can search for any lake and it will show if coverage is available.
That's the response from Garmin when I asked about the update. I'll wait and hope for the best, but if there is no improvement for the NC lakes I'm pulling the Garmins and going back to Lowrance...I could kick myself for not doing my research before buying
