Garmin Leagend and Lake master, what to expect ?

[Benny]

I have the Leagend now, and want to buy the lakemaster software.

What will I get and how good of detail can I expect with this unit?

Not much detail untill zoomed in quite abit. Then you don't know where you are or what structure is near.

My opinion is to get a lowrance with a lakemaster chip. It's so much better it isn't funny. Thats what I ended up doing.

Benny- I have the legend C with lakemaster and U.S. recreational hot spots software for it. The only complaint I have about it is the screen size. It would be nice to have a larger one like the h2o. If you would like you are welcome to come over and check it out. Where in Coon Rapids do you live?

Down off Hanson and CR BLVD, about 1-1/2 mile South of HWY10.

I am also upgrading to the H2O and the new lakemaster chip if I like it. I might get the other chip with more lakes but we will see.

I liked my legend but not a big screen and I thought it was very slow to zoom in and stuff.

I have one but dropped er in the drink about 30 foot down a couple weeks ago. Still is a bit damp in there so I haven't fired up to see if it works yet.

I did drill a couple holes to get most water out and have her on the vent to dry, still a bit of condensation I can see so i will keep waiting and see if it works again!

I have found some good deals online for the h2O though, about $140.

Benny- I posted a longer reply about the differances between the two programs and similarities, I will see if I can find it. there ya go.
