    I have a Lowrance H2O which I really like. My buddy is looking for something like it. I did a small search and really came up with nothing . Does anyone have a suggestion on a hand held GPS that a Lake Master Chip will work in??

    I have a H2O I’d sell for $175. Great shape.

    Either ebay or CL should have a used one available. The Endure(?) replaced the H2O.

    Look what they say on the LM home page:

    “LakeMaster Lake Maps apologizes for any inconvenience this suspension of online sales of the Lowrance® and Garmin® Digital GPS maps may cause our valued customers. “

    Pretty amazing when ther is no current product that can accomplish what the good ole H2O can. Maybe there is and someone will chime in but I hope mine keeps working for a lot longer.

    I have the Garmin 76cx, love it! Same set of batteries put in last winter are still going strong. You will have to find a Garmin Lakemaster chip though. Went from being fed up with my H2O power cord troubles and a few other troubles to the Garmin with zero issues.

    I use a garmin Nuvi 500. Works great with a garmin lakemaster chip. It’s mounted on the boat in the summer and a sled in the winter.

    I may have to check into one of those.

    I have a HuntC (same as the H2Oc, but with a hunting theme) with the lakemaster chip, I would sell for $250… and I will leave my “trails” from last winter on Mille Lacs

    Lowrance card will not work in a Garmin and vise versa. You can still find Garmin Mapsource Lakemaster for sale on line. If at all possible get the CD version and you will be able to create two separate cards for for 2 separate units and also be able view the lakes on the computer along with creating waypoints and routs also integrable with google maps.

    As sales of Garmin and Lowrance have been suspended through Lakemaster online Lakemaster website shows a list of retailers that still sell Garmin and Lowrance cards.

    Maybe one of the headlight cleaning kits?

    I also have an H20c with the car adapter, WI lakemaster, MN Lakemaster and Navionics North Pro Chip that I would sell if anyone is interested.

    Switched over to the iphone with Navionics and so far it seems to work ok, not as good as the H2O but ok.

    My screen was terrible with scratches. I took some crest toothpaste and put a dab on a white sock and rubbed and rubbed until the scratches were gone. You have to add toothpaste and keep at it.

    I did it while I watched TV in the evening for a couple nights and it looks like new.

    Then I purchased a screen protector for it.
