Location: Essexville, MI./Saginaw Bay. | This is Ironic.
I just sold my brand new (used 1 time) 2013 Pro Insight chip that came with my new Lowrance HDS 5m yesterday to a friend for $40.00. Went to Franks Great Outdoors and bought the more familiar to me Navionics chip. I used the insight chip one day on a short fishing trip and did not like it. The depth and contour numbers seemed smaller and harder to read for these old eyes except when zoomed in more then I wanted, but we figured out that may have been due to the background color itself on the mapping. It also did not show some of the more popular and detailed text or features in color that I wanted to see and have become familiar with on my Great Lakes/Saginaw Bay chip using the Hot Spots Navionics. I also do not need all the waterways in all the different states that the insight chip contains. Not being a touring Pro, the lakes, rivers and waterways surrounding my own state is pretty much all I want and need. IMO Take that Research and Development money for the 20 states and the 3,000 different lakes and rivers and use it for making better detailed local mapping chips.
