Lowrance topographic maps
Submitted by jighead on Tue, 2013-02-19 13:12
Hi all, I have a lowrance lms 332 sonar / gps unit that I was thinking of putting in the landcruiser. The problem I have is that I cannot find any topographic maps or charts that I can run on the unit anywhere. If anybody has any ideas or can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Send Hema (google them)
Send Hema a email and ask them if you have some options...a interesting idea...could be good for river crossings aye...are you putting a transducer out the back?

After some serious consideration I decided fitting the transducer to the front would be more beneficial.

ok this is what you do!
get youself a little 10" net book download for free a copy of memory map gps mapping software (free) then get a usb gps antennae of ebay for about $50, then you can buy all the topographic maps you want all you then need is to figure out how to supply the net book with it's voltage unless you get one thats requires 12v ( i use an inverter)

Thanks fishy fingers
I will keep this in mind. Was really hoping there might be some maps available that I could just plug in to my unit but I thought I might be a bit optimistic.
