1. Q: What are LakeMaster  high definition maps? 

    A:

 LakeMaster high definition maps are created from on-the-water surveys, collected through 

hundreds of thousands of depth soundings using state of  the art GPS and sonar technologies. 
LakeMaster’s skilled G.I.S. Analysts process the collected information into high definition contour 
maps using proprietary techniques. 

2. Q: What is a LakeMaster enhanced lake map? 

     A: 

LakeMaster enhanced maps are made by LakeMaster using publicly available information. 

This general lake contour information becomes our basemap. LakeMaster G.I.S. Analysts apply 
techniques to ensure accuracy of shorelines and update visible features. These maps provide the 
angler with a general lake profile.
 

3. Q: Can I view the maps on my GPS even though I am not on  the water?

     A: 

Yes. You can view the maps on your GPS at any time. You do not need satellite signal or even 

need to be on the lake. You may need to put your Fishfinder in simulator mode without satellite 
reception. To view maps on your GPS, use the lake list or simply move your GPS cursor to the lake 
of interest and zoom in to view. Review pg 3-4. 
 

4. Q: Can I view the LakeMaster card on my PC?

     A: 

No. The LakeMaster card is not PC compatible, it is strictly intended for use  in your GPS unit. 

Placing the LakeMaster card in a computer could corrupt the map files. If you are interested in 
viewing LakeMaster lake maps on your PC, then Contour Elite  products are for you (See pg. 10).
 

5. Q: I can’t see the map?

 

     A:

 Check your unit for compatibility at: http://www.lakemap.com/Support

Check your unit’s software, be sure you have the latest update from Humminbird: 
http://www.humminbird.com/Support  
Be sure your lake of choice is in the LakeMaster library: http://www.lakemap.com/Find-a-Lake
Review steps 1-8 of the Quick Start instructions on pg. 3. 

6. Q: The map displays, but seems to redraw slowly as you move across the water.

     A: 

Try zooming out on the screen. Be sure you have the most current software for your unit 

from Humminbird: http://www.humminbird.com/Support

 

7. Q: How can I tell if my map card is “locked” ?

    

A:

 The cards are locked when the switch is down, away from the contacts end of the card (top). 

Locking it protects from loading data onto the card, it has no bearing on your cards functionality.

 

 

8. Q: If a lake is not in high definition, can I request a survey?

     A:

 Yes. Simply fill in the lake request form: http://www.lakemap.com/Request-a-Lake/  

Alternatively, Humminbird  AutoChart  allows you to make your own high def. lake map. See pg. 9

 

 

9. Q: The map used to work but doesn’t anymore and I’ve tried everything...
