Does anyone have any feedback on these chips? With all the problems Navionics is having with their incomplete data and their failure to take care of their existing customers and not taking tradeins, I am seriously considering Buying this chip.
Unless Navionics has done some stuff that I am not aware of, This chip looks to be way better and have features that they do not have such as the ability to highlight specific depth ranges, adjust map for lake level fluctuations and highlight shallow areas.
And at $110 it is cheaper than what it would cost me to do my third update with Navionics.
Any feedback as to the performance of this chip would be helpful.

i found this on their website. pretty interesting. I keep hearing people asking when Navionics is going to get the features that this company already has. There are still some downsides like Toledo bend not being on there, But all of the other lakes I fish are there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVbUTXcdd-A

the few lakes that are on that chip are ok. looks like generic data that has been used for years. what will really piss you off is when you go to a lake and it's nothing but an outline. Thats why I traded mine for a navionics card. You get what you pay for.

I am only using it for Rayburn and Fork. How is the data for these lakes? I still have my Navionics, But their data is incomplete on Rayburn where I fish( mostly north) and it seems like everytime they supposedly have it, they don't. I like navionics except for the fact that the roads are in the wrong place, the creeks are not correct and the whole north end of the lake is missing. And they are missing about 12 bridges and 13 cemetaries. Ihear you on the getting what you paid for. I want to pay for the data I don't have from Navionics. I don't want to pay 200 bucks and still not have that data if I can actually get the data for 110. the few lakes that are on that chip are ok. looks like generic data that has been used for years. what will really piss you off is when you go to a lake and it's nothing but an outline. Thats why I traded mine for a navionics card. You get what you pay for.

If you are talking about the one that Tommy Martin is part of I use the one for Fork and really like it. The creek channels are perfect and most structure lines up perfectly as well with GPS. It also has a few features I have not seen on other maps. its well worth the money to me.

Glad to have taken..."the trash in the back!"

That saves a lot of time when you are trying to figure out where out of 250 brushpiles are the ones 18-20ft of water. I like the fact that you can adjust the map to fit the lake level and also highlight the areas that are too shallow to run in with the lakes being as low as they are.
