| I just purchased a lcx 111 and should take delivery this week sometime. My question is, It tells you it is preloaded with the great lakes mapping. Now I am hearing differant stories that the mapping they have preloaded are not as good as the navionics chips you buy. Why don't they give you a list of all the lakes that are preloaded on the unit? I am heading to Erie in May and was wondering if I needed to update My 2003 xl chip? Thanks Randy |

Location: Manitowoc, WI | The maps that are preloaded on the LCX-111c are those found in the Fishing Hotspots maps. Imagine taking a FIshing Hotspots map and encrypting it on an MMC card. That is what they will look like. The accuracy of Fishing Hotspots maps is not as good as the accuracy of a Lakemaster, Navionics XL chart, or Navionics Hotmap. However, for most, they are adequate. |

Location: Fox Lake, Illinois | Just got 2 Lowrance lcx 26c hd, same as yours but in the 7 inch. I purchased the Navionics HotMaps for $129 online through Cabela's (everyone else has been out or back ordered) You'll get the lakes on the what's installed on your unit but not the depth contours, drop-offs or structure. Should have mine in and ready to go for the morning, hope it works as good as I've heard. If not, I'll let you know. |
