Title: Which Chip
Post by: Have Rod, will travel on January 11, 2015, 09:50:31 PM

I bought a 999 HD SI. I now need a chip for fishing. Right now I am using a Motorguide, but am planning on getting a Minnkota with I Pilot. What chip is the best to get that will work with the HB and Minnkota, a Lakemaster or Navionics?

The LakeMaster has features that work with the HB/iLink/Minn Kota combination ...(that the Navionics does not) ...

Do you know when Lakemaster will release their 2015 chips?

Into is released at the beginning of the year but I can't find where the cards hit the market ...

In my area the Navionics chip seems more accurate and has a lot more detail, I have both cards and find I use the Navionics card the most but either one will get the job done.
