Maneframe Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I am looking for the best source for lake/river contour maps. I have been using google earth and bing maps but that only tells me so much. I have read about the NavPlanner2 software. Is this the best? are there others? I live in MS so I would want something that shows inland lakes for this area. I dont have depth finders capable of GPS or charts so what I will doing is viewing on the computer and getting coordinates and programming them into my hand held GPS. Thanks for any help Maneframe Quote
MFBAB Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Navplanner2 is pretty cool, should be good for what you're trying to do. You can look at the Navionics website and see if the lakes you're interested in are on their map chips, if they are then you should be able to view them in navplanner2. You can't transfer the maps out of it but you can plot waypoints on it and transfer them to your gps, I'm pretty sure you can print maps on it also but I haven't done that. Quote
