NauticPath™ USA Marine Electronic Charts ???

[Boatnut]

Anyone seen or used these things? seems pretty darn cheap..$99 bucks for coverage of almost entire US including great lakes. http://www.lei-extras.com/store/NauticPath/default.asp
Would love some feedback.
thanks

looks pretty good mike...i wonder if that's what comes loaded on the hard drive units?

[perchjerker]

is there a list of the lakes that are covered? I dont see one

Brian/Ebi,
I havent seen a list of lakes, however I kinda think maybe it's made to just cover the coastal waters and the great lakes. Not sure if Inland lakes would be on their or not. I'm not sure how they could cram coastal AND inland coverage on one chip along with marina listings/fuel/ etc. However , for the price, It would appear to be a much better value then the Navionics but again, not sure how the detail compares.

This website confirms my thinking.

I bought a Lowrance X-26 this year, and the hard drive comes loaded with the Nauticpath software. I fish Erie most of the time and I was pleasantly suprised at how good it is. Good enough that I did not feel I had to purchase a Navionics chip. Nauticpath is useless on inland lakes, however. Navionics all the way for that.
