Hi guuys... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Hey Behr |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Hello Behr |
| chatman |
behr i know you have some questions |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Are you going to make it to any PWT events? |
| Behr |
Jeff, question |
| chatman |
see lol |
| Jeff@Navionics |
The championship. Larry Carr will likely be at a few |
| Jeff@Navionics |
go ahead Behr |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Is there anything new in the works? |
| chatman |
i can hear behr busily typing |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric...always ;) |
| chatman |
hi ditch |
| chatman |
dutch lol |
| Jeff@Navionics |
dutch |
| Behr |
I have a bud who's real dissapointed with his GPS because he says there just isn't enough info on the chips.... he's looking boey numbers and channel markers... that kind of stuff... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Behr...where is he fishin? |
| Dutchman |
LOL!!! Hello!!! |
| Eric_Schuelke |
The areas that I have fished all have the markers marked, if that makes sense |
| Jeff@Navionics |
not everyone at once now... |
| Behr |
Ok... I'll explain further... he has your competitors chip, but he asked me if I had that kind of info in my Navtronics chip and I had to tell him that I did not.... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
ok..what lake? Does the other chip have the info? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch...your quiet tonoght |
| Dutchman |
Jeff, Is there a way to use the new mapping cards on a Lowrance emulator on a PC? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
eric to answer the whats new" question" |
| Jeff@Navionics |
PAPER!!!! |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Jeff, I just got back from Devil's lake, I have to say that other companies chip had more info than the navionics chip |
| Behr |
We're heading to Namakan next week, and when I look an the Namakan Navtronics map, it just shows the Boeys, but not their numbers... and not chanel marking, (I don't think) |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch...It has been done with varying levels of success. You need a lowrance reader |
| Eric_Schuelke |
What do you mean paper? |
| Dutchman |
I have a Lowrance reader for my Mapcreate still can't get it to work.... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric, correct. 1' info vs 5' info on Devils. Its from the same data set though (the state's). I would expect to see some improvement on Devils next release |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Dutch, have you tried a number of different product emulators? |
| Eric_Schuelke |
A |
| Dutchman |
Yes the 104c the 111C a 135 and the 7500GPS emulators, didn't work on any of them. |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Namakan is NOT a survey lake, meaning the data is third party. I would expect it to be the same, unless the other maker has updated info. I will look into it and see whats up |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch, I did get it to work on the 104C, but haven't tried it in a while. it was NOT easy |
| chatman |
i would rely on a paper noaa chart for indvidual bouy numbers, etc |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Alot of the info that was missing was because of the flooding of the system, we were fishing on land that just flooded in the last two years. I for one don't like the 1ft increments, makes the screen to cluttered |
| Dutchman |
The emulator shows a warning the it doesn't recognize the card |
| Jeff@Navionics |
I don't think there is a Govt chart for Namakan |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Dutch, I got it to work with the LMS-330C emulator |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch, you have to copy the files from the Nav card into the emulator, I will try to figure it out and post on WEC |
| Eric_Schuelke |
chatman, last year on the Miss, every daymarker and wingdam on the chip was right on |
| Dutchman |
I'll keep trying..... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric, CORRECT! Govt data |
| chatman |
they are also right on in my erie chip |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Jeff, Devil's was surveyed by LM - that's why the data is better... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Yeah, new paper charts for all of our survey lakes |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade...I beg to differ!! |
| Dutchman |
Used the chip on Oahe last week and it was very close. Sharpe next week... |
| rspahr |
Are there any new lakes for New Mexico that are going to be added this year? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Oahe is a survey lake for '07. |
| Behr |
Just to let you know, Jeff... I'm ok with the set-up. I think he had some unrealistic expectation going in (to aquiring a GPS). He was hoping there would be some chip that would have all of the navigation info, as well as, say, park info including... |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Thanks for saying that Dutch, will be on Oahe next month |
| Behr |
...all camp sites, etc.... |
| chatman |
you are right in your thinking behr |
| Dutchman |
It's pretty good now, better than the 2003 chip |
| Jeff@Navionics |
RS...not that I am aware of yet. Any suggestions? |
| chatman |
some peole expect to find where they can butter thier bread with a gps aint gonna happen |
| Behr |
Kind of like your map combined with this map: |
| Behr |
http://www.nps.gov/voya/maps/campMap2005pg2.pdf |
| Jeff@Navionics |
That said, our surveyed lakes should include all bouy info and other navigation info that is lacking on other charts |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Some people expect the chip to put fish on the end of your line |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric...are you telling me they don't? |
| chatman |
right eric |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Jeff, I'm pretty sure they surveyed it (Devils) so I believe it's in 1-foot contours, I could be wrong |
| chatman |
it did yesteday for me lol |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Not all the time, once and awhile I actually have to try |
| rspahr |
I would like to see Quemado Lake in NM and Cochiti Lake added. |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade, I think you will find that the data is was actually gathered from the ND wildlife and fisheries dept. they have been pretty active with mapping up there |
| Eric_Schuelke |
How's the striper fishing going? |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Ahhh - that could be Jeff - my bad then |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Thanks Rspahr...Ill ask my sourcing team |
| Jeff@Navionics |
We have some good data for NM now, but always looking to improve |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric, excellent. I get Sat afternoon to go play for Dad's day |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Good for you |
| Jeff@Navionics |
I could be wrong wade, but I'm usually not;) |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Anyone fosh the new Sak map yet? |
| rspahr |
Your 1 foot contours of Elephant Butte rock! I love that map! |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
LOL I know |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wait till you see the paper version. Ute looks unreal too |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Jeff, do you have any new paper maps of Oahe? |
| rspahr |
Yeah, I will have to go up to Ute sometime. No stripers in that lake though:( |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric, on its way, I think its at least two maps. Satelite overlay and 1' contours. Great stuff |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Oahe survey will be HUGE. WHat's the plan for survey of Devils and Francis Case? |
| Eric_Schuelke |
How soon will it be avialable? |
| Dutchman |
That'll be fun... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Yeah rs...little green fish...Brrrrrrr |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Francis Case is done |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
So it'll be on 2007? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Devils, we just need to get the 1' data. Not hard to do |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade, lets say between jan1-dec 31 2007. |
| Dutchman |
Did you use the Corp maps prior to the Dams or did you do an actuall survey on Oahe and Francis Case? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
I'm pretty confident in that timeline |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Cool, we'll have some very happy camper out this way Jeff |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch...ACTUAL on the water survey...no other mapping input |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Jeff, is that when the paper maps for Oahe will be available? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Anyone seen the new paper maps yet? |
| Dutchman |
That's a whole bunch of on the water surveying..... |
| chatman |
no what the skinny on them |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric, I think before the end of the year (06) |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
What's the story on the paper maps Jeff |
| Eric_Schuelke |
How about by the middle of July? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dutch...actually 471,000 acres of surveying |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric....maybe for you |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Should I contact you? |
| chatman |
hi doc |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
hello doc |
| Jeff@Navionics |
the paper stuff is really trick. Data is from on the water surveys with satelite overlay (you can see individual houses!) and it also has some 3d elements of the bottom |
| Jeff@Navionics |
VERY detailed |
| chatman |
really |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Hey Doc...how you been? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Eric...you know how easy I am to get ahold of;) |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Yeah, I know, Not! |
| dockehr |
good evening gentlemen, just wanted to drop in and pick up on Jeff's comments. Jeff, it seems like eons since we talked at I-CAST last July. |
| Jeff@Navionics |
yeah...fun show. Going this year? |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Jeff, what will the paper maps be priced at? |
| dockehr |
No, heading to Alaska with wife and three other couples |
| Jeff@Navionics |
nice trip...Halibut fishing? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade...$19.99 suggested |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Jeff, it was nice chatting with you, I have a Little meeting to get to, take care. I will try to get in touch with you. |
| dockehr |
No, just going as tourists. |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Later eric...be in touch! |
| Eric_Schuelke |
Sorry It should have said Little League meeting |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Jeff - is it all the survey lakes? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
LOL Doc...bet that disguise was your wife's idea! |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade, pretty close. looking at about 200+ paper maps released through '07 |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Mille Lacs yet? |
| dockehr |
What's the likelyhood of an accurate Cass Lake/Pike Bay enhancement to the chip? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade, I'll have that in about two weeks |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
Ready for the fall nite bite! :) |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dock...how bad is the one we offer now? |
| dockehr |
If we averaged" the Lakemaster chip and the Navionics chip, we'd probably be right on!!!" |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Oh yeah, about the PC use. It looks like NavPlanner will be re-released (rolling eyes) around July 4th. Nifty little program without the bugs |
| Jeff@Navionics |
lol Doc...you're saying they are both off a tad"?" |
| dockehr |
Judging from posts, your Canada premium chip is getting good marks. |
| chatman |
i was just going to ask you about that |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Yeah Doc. Big win so far. we aren't done with Canada by a LOONG stretch. Its really nice to have something to offer our customers up that way |
| chatman |
nav planner i mean |
| dockehr |
YES! One's too deep and the others too shallow. This is specifically for Pike Bay. DNR data is off. Actually, we have learnrd to compensate. |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Yeah CM. There were a few issues with Waypoint transfer. What makes a program like that difficult to produce is getting it to play nice with ALL of the plotter manufacturers we support |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
What's the timeline on the re-release of the Navplanner Jeff? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Dock...don't be surprised to see some updates. I understand the actual positioning is pretty good on those waters though |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Wade...ummmm...Navplanner....ummmm |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
I understand... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
***cough****stall |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Only kidding. Looking at right after July 4th if all of the testing goes well |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
We all know the meaning of the term backorder" lol" |
| Jeff@Navionics |
New version is in house, but not going ANYWHERE before we all get to put it through its paces |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
good deal - I'll try to catch you tomorrow on the paper |
| chatman |
just make nav planner work with MY unit, that all you need lol |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
g'night guys |
| chatman |
later bud |
| Wade@JollyAnnMarine |
lol PJ |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Later Wade! |
| dockehr |

| chatman |

| Jeff@Navionics |
It isn't, but as long as they keep getting better. |
| dbal |
Technology is a great thing |
| Jeff@Navionics |
well have to do a promotion for the paper stuff. Maybe a request a lake post... |
| Jeff@Navionics |
dball-hope you have fun with the mapping |
| chatman |
that would be cool i dont think the word is out on them |
| Jeff@Navionics |
its great stuff |
| dbal |
I just have to get off the road long enough to find time to fish |
| Jeff@Navionics |
lets do that then. when we have some more lakes, we can do a promotion |
| chatman |
thats cool |
| Jeff@Navionics |
dbal...don't I know. I spend a lot of time on the road. ALWAYS have an open invite with some of the best pros. Not enough time!!! |
| dbal |
If I had an open invite with the pros I'd make time lol |
| chatman |
dbal what unit do you have? |
| chatman |
what charts? |
| Jeff@Navionics |
I'll have to extend a few trips for product testing, QA, and feedback"....I think it might even be a tax write-off" |
| dbal |
I just bought the lowrance 332 and the navionics premium for the midwest. I live near the Petenwell Flowage in Wi |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Never fished Mille Lacs...might have to start testing there |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Great combo. Petenwell is a survey lake. great detail |
| chatman |
I am still using my trusty X15 on day i will upgrade |
| dbal |
I was suprised when I used it the first time, now it's just a matter of getting my icons set up |
| Jeff@Navionics |
Ever fish Pepin? |
| dbal |
I had to get rid of a LMS 350, it broke my heart |
| chatman |
i had one of those, i loved the nice bright screen it had |
| Jeff@Navionics |
God Brian...Were going to have to fix that. Great unit, but the mapping options are getting slim |
| dbal |
No, Petenwell, Castle Rock and Little BAy de Noc. Seems all I have time for |
| chatman |
yea i know. but Im pretty much a erie/det river guy |
| chatman |
you did such a good job on those charts I dont need anythign else lol |
| dbal |
Haven't even been to CAnada since I moved to that area |
| Jeff@Navionics |
CM...I'm pretty sure I can convince you that upgrades are a foregone conclusion. You need a new LCX 25 |
| chatman |
yea 3 kids in college though |
| Jeff@Navionics |
or one of those 900 series from HBird |
| Jeff@Navionics |
consider it an investment in your sanity |
| Jeff@Navionics |
I'll cut ya a deal on mapping...you can't miss |
| chatman |
well its a nice thought |
| chatman |
one day soon i will take you u |
