Andre, were these lakes charted on the water or are they based on the contour maps that used to be available for purchase? I was quite surprised when those maps were no longer available.

Thanks for checking. I like maps and have many, including all the Ontario depth maps previously available. Little detail but better than nothing and at a buck apiece, a heck of a deal. Not many hazardous areas were shown but knowing where the deeper areas were helped travel. Even printed on plastic although a few were on paper. Years ago when I inquired why they were no longer available, I was told "the maps don't provide enough detail".....what a lame answer. Versus no mapping, any depth map was certainly better.
Oh well.
