I just purchased a new boat and it has a 1197c on it. I was scrolling the GPS and noticed that only 2 lakes in my area show up in detail. I have not had a chance to get a Navionics chip yet. I know the previous user only fished these 2 lakes, but why wouldnt other lakes show up in detail in my area? Do i have to be on these lakes before the more detailed maps show up? Is there some function I have to perform to get the unit to reconize additional lakes? I am asking because I am going to fish a lake in the morning arrpx 75 miles from me and I scrolled the map to it and it just showed the outline of the body of water. Any help is appreciated

I just got one too and I think its just that HBs basemap doesnt cover every lake well or at all. I was at Falcon yesterday and I had Navionics at the console and nothing at the bow. The unit up front pretty much just showed blue for water.Dont think theres anything you can do but get a Navionics chip.

Ok it shows Tawakoni and Ray Hubbard in detail but not Fork, weird! lol I was just curious if there is something I have to do to activate it when I get on the lake. I know Tommy fished Twok and Hubbard in my baot and its weird those are the only 2 that have detail. I didnt discover this until this evening and BPS was closed so I couldnt go pick up a Nav chip.

Not all lakes show up in detail. Not all chips show all details. The only way to get all is to purchase the latest Navionics chip.
