I had asked the same question. Check a few responses up and you will see the response I got. Basically they are an enhancement to Navionics and Lake Master. I have never seen it before so I cannot tell you from first hand knowledge.

I know on my Lake Fork version the creek channels are dead perfect. They are very accurate in that regard. It has some stuff other chips don't show. VERY happy with mine.

How do these compare to Navionics or Lake Master?
Does anyone on here have a review of the product,..?? I have all three for the Humminbird for Rayburn, Toledo. The Tommy Martin overlay info is very good and accurate. I would recommend it for Toledo and Rayburn. The Navionics has/had some issues with the North Cut being 100yds off to the west in the timber. The Lake Master is good but has an enormous amount of contour details and is sometimes too "busy" and hard to read. And Lakemaster does not show actual routes or boat lanes highlighted, only the tiny marker bouys on the map. The Tommy Martin chip is NOT contour lines, as noted above it is highlighted creeks and roads and objects and routes. I would HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend it for Toledo Bend. That is a very large lake and it can be a safety factor to have the boat lanes marked correctly. There are many times that you will miss seeing the floating Markers and the overlay routes will show up to keep your "straight". I was under the impression that they were no longer available since I recommended to a friend to try and get one for Rayburn this week for the Costa Tournament. I am glad to see that they are still available. Since it is an overlay I would recommend to get one and load it and it will work over the Navionics and the Lakemaster.

I have Boat Lanes on my unit for Toledo , Rayburn, Fork. Am I understanding correctly that these chips ALSO have the boat lanes marked?? And if so I wonder if the two will clash? Thanks, im buying a couple regardless!!

GpsLakeMaps has creeks, ponds and structure displayed as tracks and waypoints. It does not have tracks for running boat lanes unless they just happen to coincide.

I think they are worth it. I have purchased them from Swampland Tackle in the past online

How can one get in touch with Tommy Martin or his son. If anyone can provide information in getting in touch with either I will certainly appreciate the feed back.
I have tried the internet but have had no luck.

Never heard of it before. Sounds cool. Are there any pics or videos of it?
