I found this video a while ago and found it informative.

Bluechart :smt005. That's Garmin! :smt002

   Avionics is comparable with Lowrance.  If you guys want a seminar on Avionics charts, I am friends with the only west coast Navionics rep so it can be had!

I would love it if someone could show me how the Avionics charts and map making works and how it could help my fishing.
I have some questions on some of the settings BUT I messed up my unit and have not used one since last year...the replacement will arrive tomorrow and I will remember my questions on the Elite  DSI 5 after I play with the new one.

I'll bring some of the 2014 Lowrance chips so you can see the difference.  I'll also bring a Gold card too.

All doable requests so far!
