Thread: gonna pull the trigger on 899

gotcha, one thing to keep in mind. The HB pre loaded maps are very plain and bland. You will have to purchase either a Lakeview or Navionics card to go with it. I thought I could get by with the preladed maps, but they do not even show the major river in front my house. I am going today to purchase the Navionics Hotmaps card.

It can be traded in for the XTM 9 WIDE DI 20 T (200kHz/83kHz 2d - 455kHz/800kHz DI) ...

The xducer must be unused and in the package to be eligible for the exchange program ...

Can you order from bbg or somewhere with ducer traded out already?

Also like the guys are saying about navionics and lake maps I live on pickwick lake. According to chart I have to buy two cards for pickwick that's $300+ any way around that

I don’t know if any of the retailers will swap out the transducer for you or not but it can’t hurt to ask.

Have you looked at the Humminbird-LakeMaster SouthEast States map card or just use ChartSelect and buy only Pickwick Lake?

I haven't Greg always heard navionics was best. Will look into that thanks. Also for ulterra I guess I'd need lake master right? Will lake master work in both Lowrance and bird?

Yes, you will need a LakeMaster type memory card for the Ulterra. Make sure that it is iPilot Link compatible as there may still be some older LakeMaster cards 'floating around' out there. The Ulterra will also work with the Humminbird ChartSelect maps and any made using the AutoChart/AutoChart Pro software.

I've had both the navionics and lakemaster maps. lakemaster is the far superior map for my money.
