Lac Seul/GPS

[Fish Head]

Does anyone know of any GPS chip that has Lac Seul? I just purchased a Lowrance 18c. I will be taking a trip to Lac Seul latter this year and I would like to be able to use my GPS. At least to find my way back to camp if nothing else!

What has anyone else used?

There are none that I am aware of. I just use the plotter screen. Works fine, just no map to relate to. We carry a good map and mark waypoints we save on that.

Sorry to sound stupid here, but I'm new to having a GPS. Just purchased my first one.

When you say to use the plotter screen, are you talking about the map that comes with the unit? Because it looks to me like that map doesn't go as far north as Lac Seul.

Your unit will still function without a backround map. You can see your trail as it is layed down and the waypoints you put in, just no shoreline or depth contours.

Thanks for the help

Where can a guy get one of those "Good Maps"?
Can you order one 'on-line' from some where or do you have to get one in Canada?
We're heading up the first week in June.

Buck, I bought mine at Ojibway Bait in Sioux Lookout. Check the other posts for Canada. I thought I saw one yesterday where somebody ordered one that broke the lake in quadrants. Mine was a simple paper map but seems to be quite accurate. Been using it 10 years now.

you can buy maps for just about the whole USA from lowrance. Just go to
www.LEIextra.com (or close to that, maybe LEI-extra.com) I just ordered a detailed map for the 3 northcentral states, MN,WI,IA come together for $99. Unfortunately, upon ordering it, I was sent a notice saying those states are scheduled for programming in June. (I head to Kenora June 1st) The map of MN does include an overlap into ND, and Canada, so from what I was able to tell I would get at least half way up Lake of the Woods as part of the map. This is NOT a lake map, it's got all of the lakes on it of course, but it is a very very detailed map with all roads and landmarks as is used in Aviation.

Does the LEI chip have Lac Seul on it?

My Lowrance Global Map 100 Smart Map disc has Lac Suel on it. The detail is not perfect but it works great just the same......
