Card for new sonar/finder

[harleyharry]

I recently purchased a new Lowrance Elite 7 HDI finder. The unit comes with the base maps loaded, but they are very basic. I am looking at purchasing a new chip but need some advise.

I have an I Finder and a 522 Lowrance with the Lake Master chip I have used for the last four years, and would never be without it. I understand that this chip can no longer be used in the Lowrance. I have no way to view the chips that are offered by Lowrance and Navionics to see what one would be closer to the old Lake Master chip. The one Navionics that I did see, did not impress me.

Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for the help. Our season is open, and I am getting anxious.

I believe the elite 7 has a microSD slot, and the older maps are regular SD (and can't be copied to a microSD) so they won't fit in the slot.

By the Lowrance lake pro map chip. They purchased all the map data from lakemaster. That is the chip I bought for my Elite 7 also and compared it to my Lakemaster chip in my H2o and it is identical. At least for LOTW. Yuo don't need to buy the HD chip either since the elite is not a high def unit.

HarleyHarry - you can check the charts for navionics on their web site. Look under Products and click on Webb APP you will see any chart and the detail there ary only two drawbacks.

1. No Canadian coverage (thankyou CHS)

2. it is in Meters (and I live in the USA)

Hope this helps.
