Does anybody know the exact chip version needed to fit an HDSgen 1 for LOTW?
I'm being told that even with updates most of the newer ones will still not work
I've been using lowrance lake insight pro 2012 in my HDS gen 1 for 3 years now. Haven't used it at the angle, but I can say that in Whitefish Bay it's spot on with lakemaster... Only negative is that on the 500' scale it sometimes freezes when I'm panning around looking for new spots, that's due to the 1' contours and in Whitefish Bay there can literally be hundreds of them on the screen. The gen 1 processor can't keep up with that so I stick to the 100', 200', .1 mile, or. 2 mile scales and then no issues. I haven't had any freezing issues on MN lakes so I doubt you'd have that problem with the shallower meso portions of LOTW.
Oh did I mention the insight chip has all of lakemaster's data up to 2011 on a single $100 chip... SWEET!! |
