Even if you don't have a Lowrance unit, it might be worth checking out the website and having a look for any potential hazards or trouble spots before you head to a new lake. It's the best mapping available for most AB lakes. |
Well, sir...I'd been in a heated debate as to what sonar unit I was going to buy and I think you've made up my mind for me. An added bonus for me, there's a company in Manitoba that's doing the best mapping anywhere right now (only MB/NW Ont lakes, unfortunately...) and it's strictly for Lowrance, so I want that for when I'm home. If I can have free detailed maps for AB, then it's decided...
