GPS with lake markings

ericnh · 04-30-2019, 11:12 AM

I just purchased a new Garmin Fishfinder/Chartplotter 7" w/transducer.
If you are looking for a very good gps with detailed Winnipesaukee map, I did the research and this is what I purchased:

Garmin Echomap Chirp Plus 73cv Us LakevÜ W/Cv22hw-Tm Transducer
for $399 shipped! http://www.hodgesmarine.com/

Nick from NE Marine can install - 207-266-1888
He comes highly recommended!

In Garmin 2013 spent a few weeks sonar scanning Winni with their own special boat. Their HD lake view map is based on that.

Unfortunately that price is no longer available. You got a great deal.

Honestly - buy a chart and learn the lake. If you're out at night, sure, get a GPS. Reality is, this lake isn't tough to navigate and reading the chart is the best option. Night navigation, I get the desire for GPS but still don't use it

We went years and years without one Shreddy. Ou boat came with one and we do use it.

Same here - I grew up with a chart. My boat has a GPS but I don't use it at all except for the breadcrumbs for coming back to the top of the lake at night after dinner or something. Mine is also an older model Garmin that could probably be upgraded.
