New TR Map

[SKMO]

Some of you might be interested in this:

I saw a small fleet of real high-tech boats launching at sunrise at the SK bridge about a month ago. After calling the Corps I found out it was Bottoms Up Inc remapping the lake for Navionics. Called Navionics and this is what I found out:

They will be releasing a chip on or about Jan 31 '07 for this region which will have TR mapped at 1' countour intervals. This is their "Premium" chip and will not work in all units, but will work in most. Go to the Navionics website and look under Hotmaps products and then choose your brand of electronics at the bottom of the page. It will tell you if your unit will run the premium chip with the more accurate mapping. If not, you are limited to their "Classic" chart chip which has less detail/resolution.

Also of interest is that they are going to produce a new paper map for sale for TR. They told me they have never sold paper maps but they now had the best data and were going to get into the paper map business on certain lakes, TR is one of them.

The Navionics boats were here in Cow Creek for a few days back about then. They were criss-crossing the cove slowly. I was hoping that's what they were doing. (new map).

Hey there Sam...! I found my way over. Got a good laugh with the Roostertail comment.....! Mushr....uh, CRAPPIE time is just around the corner. (I hope). And yes, we'll get together.
