I noticed that Lowrance has some free downloadable lake maps available. Enhanced Lake Maps are based on data with 4 times the resolution of previous data. Shorelines show more features, including small inlets, and look just like the actual shorelines, not angular or generalized. Small islands are now included and bottom structure, including river and creek channels in reservoirs, can also be seen. Underwater features on man-made lakes reflect conditions prior to inundation of the lake. Best of all, these lake maps now show depth contours - with each contour labeled with its actual depth.

While the list is limited, they do have a map available for Lake Mendota in WI. I have the Navionics map, which covers Mendota, but was just wondering if anybody has tried one of these?
