is it equiped with inland lake charts or do we need to buy a different card?

it has the lake on it already but if you want detailed contours you'd need to buy a lakemaster card for it. hopefully this answers your question!

It has the built in charts but if you want more or better detail it would be worth getting the lake master card for the region you fish.

It has a "standard" set of inland lakes. I also bought the Lakemaster map chip for my state. Much more detail for the lake I live on...but with that said, the standard ones are good enough to keep you out of the shallows....

When you say charts do you mean depth charts of various lakes? If so it does not come loaded with that info.

No. your best bet is a DeckBuilder Toolkit or someone on Ebay/Amazon Selling just lands

My unit, which I bought last summer after it was discontinued, came packaged with a unique code that enables me to get map updates. Once the software is set up with the code on your computer, the process is straightforward. I suppose it could make a difference if the seller is not an authorized seller, but probably not since the code was in the sealed box.

I order it for my frend . It is not mine. But i have seen only USA and Canada maps. I dont know if it is posible to use it anywhere else. Or may be update maps.

Waterway maps should be preloaded in the machine. I know you can load blank SD cards and overlay your own bottom reading to the maps. But not sure you can get a card with obstructions and bottom already loaded on card. Hope that helps

I have a Venture HC and a Nuvi 780. I have Topo US 2008 DVD and Inland Lakes Continental United States DVD. I use the mapsource PC software to put either topo or lake maps on the Venture HC. I use the lake software when trolling crankbaits to see lake map and trolling speed. I can run my trolling motor, watch depth finder, and keep an eye on the Venture HC lake map and speed to keep on course. Also have all the state planted brush pile waypoints transferred for the lake I troll. Small screen but works ok. Can also put lake or topo maps on a garmin nuvi 780.

I believe so, but only have used it on the inland lake I live on. The lake was preloaded. Better ask someone who uses on the coast.

Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure. With the 78 I bought the micro card that gives me maps of all US, Canada, some Bahamas and Mexico. The original GPS without the card gave only a no detail sketch of landmasses. with the card, it does show depths and boys of the great lakes areas. According to the west marine catalogue, the SC comes with the chart I bought preloaded, which is a really good deal. Had I realized I would be buying the chip, it would have made more sense to get the SC. I'm thinking about adding the chip with topographic features for land travel. http://www.westmarine.com/buy/garmin--gpsmap-78sc-marine-handheld-gps-receiver-with-compass-and-barometer--11553609 Hi Thomas,Since I just have the 78 I'm not sure.

If you have a Garmin 78sc, this chip is preloaded . If you want inland lakes, talk to Garmin to find the proper chip. Amazon doesn't tell you this. They just sell you the un needed chip. Howard

You realize that this program is for boating and fishing right? The nuvi won't have the charts that you would need to use this software. If you want a program for road trips using the nuvi, Garmin has one for road trip planning called mapsource which updates my nuvi maps and lets me add points of interest and other information. All you need is a usb cable to connect to your computer. If you don't have a sd card installed in your nuvi you won't be able to have maps of the entire USA but a generic 8 or 16 MB card will work and they are about $10 or $20 depending on where you get them.

999si has GPS and ethernet built in. You will need a Y cable and two traducers to get all the fish finding stuff. Humminbird PC will only read the SD cards from the 999 and not communicate directly with the unit. 999si does not support Weathersense. LakeMaster Maps are very limited with the detailed maps of lakes. No refund if you open the box. Navionics maps have much better coverage of most lakes. If you are using with newer boat the 999si can display all normal gauges, iPilot control as well as radar.

Yes, I believe so but it cost money to do so. There is a little memory card which the maps are loaded on and if you needed to you could purchase the updated maps from online.. Although I never had to because the maps is relatively up to date at least in my area

No. The 546s loaded map does not support any of the great lakes. I believe the Garmin 536s built in map supports the inland lakes but you would be better off buying the chart pack SD card for about $140 more. I believe it is called "Bluechart g2 vision VUS017R Lake Huron - Lake St. Clair"

They have a list on their website of the lakes that are included but unless it says it's in hd don't bother. I purchased it because they listed my lake and the maps were worse than the built in map. I sent it back.

Not sure what you mean my structure mapping. The model that I bought has down scan and structure scan. That little box (in the picture), beside HDS 10 unit is the down scan and structure scan. If you want to map your home lake you can but I'm not sure of all of the details.

sorry I took so long...YES the miss. river and boundary water is on card. Key thing here is only works on Humminbird units now.

Hi, If the card you buy has the Mio program on it, then all you have to do is change cards. If it doesn't, then you have to load the map(s) into the 'map' folder. I have a back-up SD card for safety, then I just put the maps I want to use into the Map folder on the card I use. You can download a lot of Mio maps for free if you look around for them on the web. Hope this helps
