If I want the Garmin Etrex Legend Vista HCX what card should I get?
Garmin only has the Lakemaster chip and it is fomated on a micro sd card so you can only use it in a garmin. Also make sure the garmin you get uses the micro sd card some of the Garmins run the full sd card. I love my lakemaster Micro sd card.

The garmin with the full sd card slot may take the navionics or lakemaster chip full sd card. That I'm not sure.

I know what you mean, lots of choices out there. I had a hard time choosing. I'm going with the garmin mainly because I have the already the lakemaster chip from when I got my Garmin fishfinder through ProfishingSupply.

Either way the Lowrance h2o or the Garmin you wont go wrong.

I just got to this thread and there's already 35 posts on it grin

Garmin makes a great unit, overall probably the best gps in my opinion. And they have a lot of proprietary software, travel information and navigational charts, etc. A huge plus for Garmin now in MN is that they will take a LakeMaster chip. Croixflats pointed this out but just to make sure you're clear on it, the Garmin LakeMaster chip is proprietary to Garmin units and will only work in Garmin units. Lowrance Lakemaster chips and Navionics chips won't work in a Garmin gps.

The H20 is a great GPS too, no doubt about it. Tons of guys have them, tons of guys love them. A nice benefit to the H20 is that you can use Lowrance LakeMaster chips or Navionics chips. Another nice benefit is their price, very inexpensive for all the functionality you get. I've had an H20 and map chip since they first hit the market and it's still going strong. Lowrance has some other handheld gps too that have some nice features, the Hunt models, Expedition, XOG, etc. All will take map chips.

I also have the map chips on my site. If you have any questions just let me know.

I have a Garmin eTrex Legend C and love it. One of the things that I like about the it is that it is very easy to upload or download data to the unit. It uses a standard mini-USB cord to connect to my PC. You can use a mapping HSOforum to share your tracks and waypoints.

I keep track of most of my fishing trips to log where & when I've been to certain places.

I'll throw in a vote for the lowrance XOG - stands for cross over GPS. It is a car gps with premium street info and mapquest features all the best car gps stuff plus take the chips and I loaded the topo map from my old lowrance globalmap100 into it and last night when my x104c on the boat didn't work I put the chip in XOG and was back in bidness ..... depth was accurate with 1 - 1.5 ft which is within the lake level change range in my book. The Dang bouys were even in the same place they show up on the screen!

The only negative is rechargeable non accessible battery. It only last about 2 hours without plug in. If I'm going to use it deer hunting it will stay off unless I need it, and it going on the wheeler scouting or something I want it all the time I'll take a gel cell batt from the vexilar and a 12v plug adapter and only have it unplugged when off the machine.

Other than that, I'd go this way rather than buy an h20 and put road mapping into it. more versatile, I don't think much different in price ..... got mine a year ago and they were about the same or xog was less ... can't remember and haven't shopped. If Lowrance paid attention, they likely raised the price.

My 2 cents......

      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.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      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.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
