FYI on the Navionics website (www.Navionics.com) is a brand new viewer. This allows people to look at actual charts for any where in the world both fresh and saltwater.

All detail is added in as far as contours, underwater structure, shoreline corrections, fishing spots, etc...

If curious about Navionics charting or just want to check out your local area or places to visit, take a look.

Only thing missing that would show up on a chip are the shaded details like creek beds and trees, the community layer, saltwater fish n chip data, and the brand new SonarCharts. These are reserved for chip features only but still get a really good idea of what a lake looks like under the water.

It is a cool link, as I am thinking about getting one..Just wondering though,,on Mille Lacs there seems to be a big depth number on a contour line and right next to the number there's a smaller number, what's that about?

I believe they are showing it in meters, but of course if you buy the chip it is in feet.

No I dont believe so it was designed to give you an example of what to expect. The PC app can be switched to feet and other great features.

Just convert the depths by remembering every meter is about 3 feet in depth. I was confused at first too...but then looked at a local lake with known depths and figured it out.

I used google to figure out the depths. Kind or weird. Being able to look around like that is super cool.

Well, my recent experience with Navionics left a very poor taste in my mouth, and I will not be a repeat customer.
