Chip for Lowrance

[Missdemeanor]

Looking for input from you guys on what chips you have in your GPS units...Deciding on the Navionics gold, or the fish n chip....Any thoughts?

[Andre wallyandre]

Instead of going to a Gold you better off with the new Navionics+ with sonarcharts. With the Nav+ you create you're own customize map.

What model of Lowrance are you running?

Lcx28c.....thanks...will look into it

Sent from my VS920 4G using Lake Ontario United mobile app

With a LCX28 you won't get the sonarcharts or FnChip.

Yeah it's probably the best "off the shelf" chip I have seen for the lake. Check out nobeltec if ya like the navtronics chip. I have the software on a laptop in the boat and it's sick.... Expensive but sick

Before buying a Platinium be sure that you're unit can read the Platinium. The Elite series can't.

 

Compatibility list: http://www.navionics.com/sites/www.navionics.com/files/documents/Americas_CompatibilityGuide_2.pdf

 

For the Platinium users don't forget to activiate the Fish N Chip function to benefit the Sonarcharts!

 

If you purchase a new Navionics don't forget to register you're card within 60 days of purchase on the Navionics webstore to get a full year of Freshest Data.

Like I said its unreal but expensive the complete

Set up the way I wanted was like $2200.00 and that's totally separate from my chart plotter and platnum chip.having that on the computer combined with the chart on the boat is unreal. Too many toys lol

You can run the Navionics platinum plus, in the spring someone told me its doable, so I called Navionics and the walked me through it and yes it does work flawlessly, I know they claim not, it must be a hdi unit.
