Chart Plotter
Just bought a new Grady White, guess I'll have to change my sign on to Grady255!
Anyway, I want to install an in dash chart plotter. Any suggestions as to brand and model? Am I correct in my understanding that the Bizer charts only work with Garman? Are there charts of the Lake on the standard inland map sets for any/all plotters? I love the Bizer hand held charts. |

I am very partial to the Lowrance HDS series with the largest screen you can fit. When used with the Navionics mapping chip, it's a real tough combo to beat!
Good luck! Dan

I am now looking into Garmin Lakevu HD. Another poster in another string suggested that it works real well. I watched Garmin radar plotting the Lake a couple of summers ago. Must be serious about their product. Anyone have any experience?

I assume you are speaking of Bizer. Are you happy with the Garmin product? Does it allow you to navigate the lake safely and effectively?

Standard Horizon
For a number of years I used a Standard Horizon chartplotter GPS with Bizer's Winnipesaukee C-MAP card. The GPS display was exactly like Bizer's printed chart.
I sold that boat early this year and got a new one, so had to get a new GPS. (I had hard-wired that GPS and it's external antenna into the boat and it was too much trouble to uninstall everything.) This time I opted for another Standard Horizon chartplotter, a CP390i with 7" hi-res screen. I bought and installed Bizer's Winnipesaukee NT+ C-MAP card (Model WWCM) which is carried by Irwin Marine in Lakeport. The CP390i is an excellent chartplotter. It has an internal antenna, which appears to be every bit as sensitive as the external antenna on the unit in my previous boat. Screen resolution and brightness is very good.

I have a Garmin 53DV with the LakeVu Ultra HD chip. Winnipesaukee is one of maximum definition lakes on the chip. Have always found Garmin's to be the most user friendly of the products available. Have no experience with Bizer maps (other than the paper versions) so can't say one way or another which is better but I like mine.
