    my gps waypoints from Lakemaster to Navionics didn’t appear to translate correctly. also no road maps on the Navionics? my old lakemaster chip showed my street location when I was in the driveway. that normal?

    it doesn’t seem to work anymore. thought it was the unit but I put my old lakemaster chip back in and that worked fine.. I am upgrading to the Elite 7 with Chirp and down imaging. I am hopin the chip works in that unit

    Premium doesn’t have any land mapping, Platinum does.

    Highly unlikely that Lakemaster will work the Elite 7. Go with the Navionics + with SonarCharts
