I too am interested in what others have to say. I got new Helix units over the winter, and got the Minnesota and Wisconsin maps from Lakemaster, right off of the bat since I find myself in the bay of Green Bay, as well as several lakes here in Minnesota, quite often. I got to play with the mapping, a bit, in winter, as my bowmount, is the 7" all season, which I used while ice fishing. I have only been on four bodies of water, so far, in the soft water season, so i don't have much experience with the mapping, yet. So far, I really like setting the red shallow water, for the body of water I am on. On my local lake, I set it at 3', as I really know the lake and it's hazards. When I was on Green Bay, I set it at 8', as I was familiar enough with the area i was fishing, to know that there were many boulders and rock hazards, that spike up near the surface, when in 6 or 7' of water, so it was a good reminder to pay particular attention. I also found using the green highlight for a particular depth range, when you have found that the fish are in that depth, and you want to focus your trolling/drift paths on a that specific depth. So far, I see myself using the shallow water highlight for safety, and the green, for showing me places I want to consider fishing. Again, I've only had a few chances to really play with it.
