Also, if the 53DV is anything like my 741XS, creating a route on it is incredibly easy and intuitive. I made some 100+ mile routes on mine in about 5 minutes. You just pick a destination on the chart, click "route to" and it draws a straight line from your boat to that point. You then simply drag the straight line around obstacles and add turns, working from the destination back to your boat. I cannot think of a route on Winni that would take more than 2 or 3 minutes to create.
Regarding missing markers, the red topped spar at Umbrella Point is not on the LakeVu chart. That's the only one I've noticed missing. Two other things to note, if there's an FL, LakeVu does not show the corresponding spar with it on my GPS, but that might be due to the level of detail setting I use. LakeVu does not show rocks like the Bizer chart. You must be very careful exploring the wrong side of markers with LakeVu. This is a non-issue for me.

That's great to know. I'm curious if the lakeVu ultra shows the rocks like Bizer. I know navionics + shows the rocks. Anybody know?
