I recently bought a H20c with a Navionics premium north chip. I used it on Pokegama and Moose Lake near Grand Rapids Minnesota. On Pokegama the map was off as much as 4-500 yards. I would be on shore on the cabin deck and it would show me way out in the lake yet. I would be on one side of a big island and it would show me on the other side. These are just 2 examples. If I swithed off the Navionics mode and went back to the lowrance mode with the lakes roughly shown it would show me on the lake a LOT more accurately. I was told this was normal ,on another forum, because Navionics was probably using inaccurate info on those 2 lakes since they weren’t the major lakes like Leech, Mille Lacs, etc. Is this true or do I have something wrong with my chip. Pretty disappointing if they only have accurate mapping on the few major lakes. They should tell people wwhich lakes are accurate and which ones aren’t if that is the case. On Moose Lake, I was driving 100 yards to the south of a big rock pile in deep water and it showed me driving right over the 4′ depth of the middle of the rockpile.
