I am staying on Oak Island at Bay Shore Camp near the Northwest Angle next summer.

I would appreciate some suggestions on what you guys think is the best chip availoable for my Lowrance.

Thanks,
Craig

Thanks Saint.

One chip covering the entire lake. Is that correct?

They have a number of chip levels. Can you please tell me which one yours was (Gold, Hotspots, etc)?

Drop Frank (Walsh) a line, he's pretty up on the chips there and I think he is a dealer for the one he uses too. You'll have a great time there, say hello to Scarlett!

The Navionics chip does cover the entire lake. Its basicly the Canadian Hydrographic Map put onto a chip. Not sure about being "right on" but its not far off either... maybe 50' in some areas. When getting close to shore in some areas it will show you on land and same with bouys... it might show you going on the wrong side of them. Just use common sense. Personally... I loved it and would not travel on LOTW's without it again and Ive been there many many times.

Just buy the chip that covers Mn and you will get the map for ALL of LOTW's.

Oh... the chip I have is Navionics Hotmaps Premium.

My premium north chip was closer than I had heard it would have been this past summer, while staying at Franks. The Navionics/Lakemaster boys were remapping the section of the lake we were on, this summer too, and I would guess the new map would only be an improvement. I'll go back with my chip though, as it was very close, with the distance 'off' being monor and relative no matter where I went.
