My son has a Humminbird set up on his boat running Follow the Contour. You can also get lakemaster on your smart phone using the FishSmart App $10 to $30 per lake. Offers a super planning tool compared to lakemaster. accuracy on the lake linked to my Vex Sonar. Both have dual GPS and GLONASS chipset (USA/Russia navigation) 3ft. I use Navionics Boating App $15 annual subscription on my Samsung phone and Samsung 10' tablet. (Computers do not have GPS chips.) Lowrance also created there C-Map to work on there product line. Navionics also made there 1' contour maps available on the web with the Boating App where Contour Elete is on a windows computer limited software. Lowrance than teamed with Motor Guide and Navionics making a compatible fishing system to Johnson Control. In 2004 Johnson Control started buying Lakemaster, Humminbird & Minkota - made everything porparithy to only work on Johnson Control products. And since nothing works with the other brands it becomes a real decision which one to get locked into and no source of unbiased uncorrupted objective information.Ĭomparison between Navionics and Lakemaster. And now we have three families of stuff to consider for electronics and trolling motors. I used to think there were only 3 sets of data for Vermilion, the OG Lakemaster 3 foot, Navionics 1 foot, and Garmin 1 foot. Hummingbird owns Lakemaster it appears although it is a little ambiguous. Not sure how Lakemaster works with Lowrance.ĭid 'lakemaster' re-survey the lake, or is this data from Navionics? Trying to keep ownership straight. Sorry to hijack the thread with Humminbird stuff as I know the OP asked about Lowrance. Add to that Contour Elite, which allows you to study the maps on your computer and share information back and forth from your computer and your Humminbird unit. It's a totally integrated system and all pieces are designed to work together. I can't imaging there is a better combination than Lakemaster mapping, Humminbird electronics, and Minnkota trolling motors with I-pilot link all linked by ethernet. The latest Lakemaster maps have 1' contours for LV.
