24K Topo for Lowrance?

[BayAreaExpeditions]

He folks, I'm getting nauseated trying to find topo and trail useable maps for the new Lowrance HDS units. Any help would be greatly apprecieated. Ive gotten set up with A fujitsu 12" touch screen and Overland Nav is in the mail, but I may decide to not open any boxes and go with the Lowrance for the advantage of the engine monitoring and Weather features, as well as what I am assuming is more durability for rough roads. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance, Chris

I'm confused. Why don't you use the Lowrance software? That is what I use on my HDS. It has more detail and trails than any other software I have seen.

Huh, the Lawrence dealer told me there was no real inland detail on the maps, and when I messed with one at WestMarine it seemed to have no real detail off road. Is it their Navionics map? Which HD are you running, Im considering the 8 or 10. Thanks

I use this software. It is awesome in the number of trails it shows.
