Location: Waconia, MN | We all know that Johnson Outdoors Inc, bought LakeMaster this year. I guess what I didn’t know, and I know I’m not alone on this, but I was unaware that they were going to stop making the chips available for all Lowrance and Garmin units. I jsut found this out today from LakeMaster.
IMO I find this stupid, it seems like they are trying to push me, and other into purchasing a Humminbird unit, and I don’t like that. I also know I have a choice, so it’s not like they have a gun to my head or anything like that, but I’ve got two perfectly find Lowrance units LCX 37c and LCX112, and when they go, I was thinking about upgrading to the new HD units. Don’t get me wrong, Humminbird makes a good unit too, but I don’t like being told which map chip I can use.
I also know that everyone out there is entitled to their own opinion so I’m not trying to start a bash, or thread wars, but just wanted to get a feel of what everyone uses, and likes. So with that said, I’m just curious to see how many of you use Lowrance and how many use Humminbird, and what chips ( LakeMaster/Navionics) you use in them.
Thanks guys
Scott

Location: Waconia, MN | I hear ya, and sorry for the duplicate post. The new post was moved into the correct topic posting. I just wanted to get a feel of how many people that like LakeMaster and run Lowrance would be affected. I myself love my Lowrance, and like LakeMaster, but now it looks like I have to get Navionics. Thanks guys, and I hope no fights starts. |

I certainly wouldn't select my unit based on the map chip. |

I love the idea of an off shore acct, and I've got one of those accounts open right now. I just can't understand why they would just stop making the chip for both units. I just wanted to get a feel of what units and chips people used. |

I just do not like the view on hummingbird, too much stuff on the screen I cannot remove except in the really pricey models.
