You would think that since Academy sells all types of GPS, that they would sell map cards. I called 7 different stores in the Houston area and none had ANY. As a matter of fact, several of the stores did not even know what Navionics was. Hmmm.

FYI - Walmart is upgrading their fishing section, at least out here they have. As an example, they have Falcon Bucco micro guide rods for $122 (less than Academy asks) Skeet Reese rods for $89, upgraded their lure and line section. I never thought I would see it but, I did.

Academy is now owned by Wall St bankers. There will be many changes coming,,,,and probably not all of them will be to our advantage.

Yes, all of the cards I have bought in the past came from Academy.
