16 days until I can give it a serious test out on the water !!Īnd yes, I did see the boats out in 2007. And the spots I fish in Swell looked very accurate on the chip. I only looked up into the beginning of Redgut (Moose island area to be exact) and it was mapped that far. I did check on the Ontario side of Rainy and it is mapped the same as Namakan.1' contours out to 21', and then 3' contours to the bottom. I think hihg volume sales places are most likely to have the new chip, tho may not even know it. I got mine at Marine General, and they had quite a few. I called Navionics, and ws told that since July 1 every chip they have sent out to retailers has been the 05.21 version (and no, there is no info on their website about a mid-year release), all previous ones do not have the new data for VNP. Guts is probably right, the stores closest to the Voyagers lakes are more likely to have the latest maps, but I couldn't take that chance. By the way, I won't walk into a Cabelas store anymore for several reasons, so maybe they will have the latest version. I made sure they would be shipping me the latest version before I ordered. Then I showed them the email from Navionics. Nobody had Version 5.21 but several places assured me that the map they had in stock (Version 2.21) was the latest version available. I searched long and far in the Twin Cities area. That had to be a tough project with all the islands, rocks, and jagged shoreine. Has anyone ever seen them doing the mapping? I'd like to know how it's done. I didn't think Navionics would ever map the lakes up there. I've got fat fingers but I wanted everyone to know about this. You just want to verify them the version number of the chart you will be shipped." "The 2009 HotMaps Premium North retails at $149 and is available through any of our Dealers, such as Cabela’s. This version number is VERY important in order to get the information you are inquiring about." You would want to purchase the SD/PREM-N5 version 05.21.
"If you are looking to purchase this latest edition, you want to double-check the code and version number on the cartridge itself, which you can see right through the back of our packaging. Crane Lake includes HD survey information on the main part of the lake." "The HD survey information included on Namakan and Sand Point Lakes are the US waters of the lakes with Canadian government information on the Canadian side of the lakes. This is not a regular scheduled release." "These were new updates just released in our new soft release of our 2009 HotMaps Premium North product. I looked at the Cabelas website and they don't list those lakes as HD versions. I noticed on the Navionics website that HD Maps for Crane, Sand Point (US Only) and Namakan (US Only) are included on the 2009 Version of the card.
