Bizer sells its data which will work in virtually all Garmin units manufactured between 2002 and 2014. I believe that unit was made during this period. The best indicator is the copyright date of the owner's manual.

If Bizer's MicroSD chip fails to work (or if you are not satisfied for any reason), Bizer will refund your money.

After learning how much the dealers are charging for the SD cards that contain the charts for the Lake, I am considering buying a navigation app designed for the iPhone. If that doesn't work out, the old-fashioned paper charts will have to suffice.

Any recommendations for any particular iPhone apps for navigating the Lake?

The Navionics boating app is what you want.

NAVIONICS! hands down the best app for the lake....

I have it on my iphone and my ipad mini. The mini has to be cell capable otherwise it will not have the GPS chip. You do not have to have the cell service activated.

It is pretty good but I noticed it ate my battery when in use trying the free version. Don't know if anyone else experienced the same. I'd just say plan accordingly if you buy it.

I just downloaded the free version of Navionics (appeared to be only one option), and a message popped up asking if I want to start my "Free Trial." Will the App disappear if I don't purchase a not free version after a few weeks?
