A few of you will know that I along with some other lads have been using Vexilar units along with the Navionics mobile app to increase mapping of inland waters.
The only other option on offer was to use Dragonfly Pro fishfinders as these would also allow uploading of new maps to the Navionics database for public use.
The big problem was that although the Dragonfly range are great at what the do they do not offer any form of side scan/Totalscan/Structurescan etc and as such some kayak anglers were reluctant to change.
Well good news folks!!
I have received a press release from Navionics announcing that now some Lowrance models have compatibility with the Navionics Sonar Chart Live app. You can now have side imaging along with the ability to map and upload fisheries whilst still having advanced scan options. Models suitable are HDs Gen 3. Elite Ti and the newly launched HDs Carbon range.
Great news for us freshwater kayak anglers.
