garmin chartplotters

[FISHIN' ADDICTION]

Navionics has come out with a chip that will work in garmin chartplotters, and I was able to get in on the test run through bayofquintecharters on here.  As being part of this test group I received an email tonight from navionics that garmin said they are changing their software so these chips wont be compatible. I was in the market for a bigger chartplotter but now it wont be a garmin because I have also bought their map chip and it doesn't even compare to navionics with their hd lakes. just wanted to give anyone a heads up if you are buying a new unit and plan on getting the navionics for it.

That's nice why wouldn't Garmin make their unit compatible to Navionics, makes no sense to me??

Garmin prides itself on cartography of the world but our waters are debatable.

So what your saying is Garmins charts are way better than Navionics, but only their cards work in their units? how is their selections of lakes compared to Navionics?

Navionics shows twice the detail as Garmin charts on the hd lakes. But because navionics came out with a card compatible with Garmin, Garmin is now changing their software so only Garmin charts can be used
