    Default Help with with Garmin UHD 93SV


    My main problem is I can't see creek beds on my maps. I do have the upgraded card Ultra East. Is this possible? I am in the process of pairing with Active captain. But active captain doesn't show creek beds on the app but it does show it on the web page.

    Garmin has maps programed into the unit, you don’t need a map card,

    This is true. But I fish on watershed lake and I need to be able to adjust lake level on my unit.

    Trouble is the maps that were programmed on the unit doesn't have the creek beds. Now navionics has creek channels for sure. But you can't use navionics on a Garmin chart plotter. Even tho garmin owns navionics.

    Can you see creek beds on your Garmin unit?

    I have the 93sv Garmin and only use the navronic maps that come with the unit. Have you downloaded the latest software for your unit? If not that may be your problem, I ordered the latest software card from Garmin when I purchased my unit, but can download the software from Garmin if you like. Have you zoom in on your maps to check on creek channel?

    I noticed the same thing. Bigger channels are shown, but the smaller ones aren't, the only thing there is a bend in the contour lines, even when you can see a clear channel on SI.

    That's the big downside to these over the others, you can't upgrade to Lakemaster maps or similar.

    I fish a lot of lakes that aren't mapped. Takes time, but you can record your own contours for the areas you fish with more detail than the maps provided.
