I am looking for a gps/navigation system for around $500. I am not sure what exactly I need so I will tell you the use and you can tell me what I need.
I will be using in on a basstender 11.3. I am going to mark flats in the river at low tide that may hold stripers at high tide. I also may need help finding my way back to the boat ramp.lol
I am not sure how they work. Do I need to buy a card with the information on the geograhic area that I am in or can I just buy it and trun it on?
I have a LMS-480 I will sell for 400. I will tell you about the card info. Call me at 606-627-3511
Cabela, has a sale on last years model Lowrance LCX 15
with sonar, Has card reader and uses Lowrance MMC or Navioncs MMC. Unit rec. WAAS,DGPS and GPS. I think the unit you want is $599.
To answer your questions, most of the gps/sonar units will already have the maps (no detail) on the unit. But, you will need to get the map card for your area that has the detailed map info like contour lines, channel markers, ect...
I have the Lowrance LMS-480 and the Hot Maps Premium card and love it.
