    Hope this is the right spot to ask this question. It has been since 2012 since I had a boat and it had 2004 technology (X96 sonar and 1st Gen GPS mapping)…. So I just bought another boat and current/new electronics..

    I have a gen 4 Helix 8 and just ordered the MN lakemaster premium chip to install.

    My question is: Getting started with building core published well known waypoints into my unit, I’m thinking I need to get a paper Fishing Hotspots Map that has all the public gps spot published and manually input them into my unit so I then have a starting point to work from..

    Is there a smarter or more efficient way to do this? Am I missing something?

    Boy step away from the fishing scene for 12 yrs and I feel like I’m a Dinosaur from the last century and overwhelmed at todays available technology.. Uff Da.

    Thanks in advance.

    The map chip will be pretty detailed and will allow you to highlight certain depths. Do you have side imaging ?
