old lake chips

[mille lacs muskie bum]

has anyone ever heard of a lake chip with only four lakes on it? i can get one for cheap from a guy but i dont know if its worth my money. i guess it has mille lacs, winni, gull and one other lake. thanks

what brand name is it?

Unless "cheap" is like ten or fifteen bucks, I'd take a pass. Is the data still, in fact, on the chip and useable? Do you know if it works in the system you want to use it in? Is the data for those four lakes anything special (1' contours) or is it just a digital version of the DNR map? Is it a better option for you than buying a newer used one with more lakes (but which still presents some of the same concerns) for about $50, or a brand new one for about $100?

I'm generally not a fan of buying this kind of thing used, unless I can verify it in MY equipment first. And even then, the new one shouldn't offer any major benefits (Like higher-resolution data, or lots more lakes) that I'm passing on to save some money.

Just my two cents,

Tom.

i dont know anything about it. i do know it will work in the unit. im buyin an h2oc. he wants 20 bucks for this chip but it seems kinda sketchy. also where can i find these year old chips for 50 bucks?

get the brand name and you will solve all of your problems

They're generally not year-old, but check out that List HSOforum. There are chips listed in the sporting sections every now and then.

Like I said, be sure to test run things in YOUR unit. And think about whether it makes sense to you spend half the money of a new one for something that's three or four years old. Another $50 or so and you can buy a new one. Check out the websites (including the manufacurer's websites) and see what you find/ think.

I believe the original Lakemaster chip had only 4 lakes on it. I also think you could only download it twice into a GPS before it became void. Once in your original GPS and then in another GPS if you had one.

Hey muskie bum.

I have a newer LM Chip for the H20 (Around 2005 or so) that I'd be willing to sell if you want it. WAY more than 4 lakes on this one.

My H20 crapped out on me last month. I just ordered a Garmin Oregon w/LM Chip and so have no use for the H20 LM chip any longer
