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.

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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
