I just Upgraded from HDS-7 Gen 1...to a HDS-12 Gen 3 w/ LSS-2 T/D
The Gen 3 Units take the Micro Card...I Can't use My Old Bigger Chips.

WHAT Mapping Chips are the Best to get / use for Texas Lakes...
I've got a Old chip that shows: Road Beds, Ponds, Creeks. Can't remember Who makes it...or Where to get a Micro Chip of it.

All You Lowrance Experts / Gu-Ru's out there...
Any and All Info / Suggestions are Appreciated!!!

* IF Anybody has any Good ones to Sell...Please send Me a PM *

ALSO...I'm Needing a New / Used Gimbel Mount for My HDS-12 Unit. Anybody got one they Aren't using?!? Send PM...Thanks!

Thanks again Guys,
Nitro Man / Roger

I don’t know what lakes you fish but check out legends mapping! They have single lake maps and I think they are better!

Check out the Navionics Platinum or the Navionics+ Regions cards. Both have the sonar charts layer, the platinum is $199 and the Regions is $149, the only major difference between the 2 is the Platinum has 3D and Aerial overlay capabilities, if those 2 features do not interest you, then save yourself $50 and go with the Regions card.
