Bizer vs Duncan Press

[Rich]

Yes, I hate to say it, but I purchased the latest (this year's) Duncan press chart, hoping it would be better and act as a good backup/alternate to the Bizer chart, but it didn't work out as well as I had hoped.

You can see my review (and other's comments) here: http://www.winnipesaukee.com/forums/...ad.php?t=17149

I will add that this year I updated my Navionics chart chip for my Raymarine GPS chart plotter. I found an update chip available online for about $85. This is there new 'Update+' version which allows you to update it as much as you like for one year. It also allows you to put as many charts on your chip that will fit. At 2 GB, that chip can hold the whole East coast. I was impressed in that their new update includes what looks like every dock on the lake, in addition to the updated navigation info.

It has depth contours every 1 foot, and if others on the lake with modern equipment send their depth soundings back to Navionics (it's very easy to do), the chart will be improved and grow in accuracy as users upload their readings. So consider this a PLEA to have boaters on the lake with Navionics charts and compatible chart plotters to get this update and send their depth readings Navionics.

Note: I will add that Bizer doesn't make compatible data for the Raymarine chart plotters. But I do have a Bizer chip for a 2 year old Garmin GPS chart plotter.
