GPS questions


Scotteye

Question

I have a Lowrance Global map 100 and I am interested in getting the Lake Master Software. I would rather purchase in a store if possible (only because I want it tomorrow). That is question 1(who carries it), and for question 2, what PC data cable do I need. I have called both Galyans and Gander and they do not carry either the software or the cable. Not to ramble any further, but.... is it the cable with the PC attachment, GPS attachment, and Cigarette lighter plug-in? If so, why does it have a cigarette lighter plug in?

Thanks for any help!

Scotteye,

I don't believe the software is sold in any store. As far as the cable goes. It plugs into the serial port on your computer and then plugs into the back of your GPS. Mine plugs into the same place as the auxillary cord that plugs into the cigarette lighter. I have a Garmin 12. For the cable you will need to get that from Lowrance

Lakemaster software is available at Cabela's.
As far as the download cable it comes in two versions on has a cig, plug and one just has open power leads. This is so you can operate the unit off a seperate power source while downloading. This cable will also work with the Eagle Veiw GPS and the Lowrance 310, both are gimble mount units that need external power.

I ordered mine off this site and I got it in two days. I would recommend ordering it here and telling them you want it quick. Like I said, I had mine in two days.ScottS

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
