Title: Depth map

Here is a Navionics map I thought I would share with you.
Scroll in , scroll out, move to another lake, change the depth to feet.
you can do whatever.

You can save it into your favorites and study it any time

Enjoy

Thanks John. Nice map and a nice tool for exploring areas to fish. Unfortunately, no such online maps for Sasseginaga, Ogascanan, Kikwissi, Lac à la Truite, Ostabonique etc.

Or enough addressable market population to make it worth the investment. Maybe those are the lakes we SHOULD be fishing in.  ;D. But I'm good with Kipawa for many reasons. Good info. Thanks.

I have emailed Navionics numerous times over the last 7 years to request that they add the depth contour maps of lakes in the Abitibi/Témiscaming to their Hotmaps Premium chip for Canada. Never happened - just not enough requests to justify the expense.

I also have contacted Avionics re getting Lake Ogascanan onto their app. Keep the pressure on & maybe they'll get it done.

Great map. Any way to print this without the Navionics watermark on the page?

what do the red squared with the black cross mean on the map?

Don't try to drive your boat over those spots...you may lose a skeg or put a hole in the hull...

;D

Great tidbits of Information on the Navionics site. I've been a user of the site andChips for many years. On their site, if you look down lefthand sidebar bottom you'll see a Circle with some blue wavy lines thru it. If you click on this your map will change a bit in that you'll get many more lines showing up when you zoom in. These extra lines are incremental 1 ft. depth changes and if map is showing a solid black, you are on a very steep drop-off.
Now for some of those smaller not charted lakes, if you have a Humminbird Helix Fish Finder, you have more than likely if it's recent, got an AutoChart Live program built into it. All you do is Get into AC live and hit record. Unit will save up to 8 hours, then you download from helix via Zerolines card. You can build your own maps of each small lake, save them onto a Zerolines Card, put them onto your computer and every time you go to another lake you can Build another map on your unit then download to an empty Zerolines chip and save it on your computer. You have to purchase the Auto Chart Live Pro program to install on your computer. A lot of very valuable information can be gleaned from this program. Check it out on You Tube.

I went back to the Navionics site, just to look around and try to quell my excitement for our upcoming trip to Kipawa. Happy to see the inclusion on Ogascanan now! We're planning to return there next year.

I used the navionics map on Ogascanan last year.  It was waaaaay off on depth in most of the lake.  It exists, but it's not remotely accurate.
