Garmin / Rec Lakes / Fishing Hot Spots GPS CD ROM
Garmin and Fishing Hot Spots have come to their senses (a little) and
revised the pricing structure for their electronic maps that work with
Garmin GPS units. It used to be you needed an unlock key for each
"region" of the country. But "regions" were very different. Wisconsin
was a "region" and then several states in the southeast were a region --
each region could cost $$$$ to have access to.With version 5.0 (I got mine at Gander Mountain -- Cabelas isn't
stocking them yet and BPS has been out) you can purchase 1/3 of the
country: East Central or West. The CD was $99. at Gander and Garmin has a $30 rebate if you are
upgrading, so this makes the map product much more affordableand
usable. They have added a significant number of maps -- including depth
contours for the former gravel pits 3 blocks from my house. (Boom lake is stil included in the central version -- as are several
other Wisconsin favorites). |
