Thread: Map options of Lake Washington for Humminbird

There is a thread here with map. Not really what your looking for but mapping companies steer clear of flood planes as they fluctuate so much and are not that accurate from day to day. I think the thread is called Washington Lake Map. Google shows it too. Good luck

If you can't find it on Navionics, do you know anyone with an AutoChart Live account?
If so, have them check the community maps for Washington.
You can download them with the Chartselect card.

Edit..
I just checked my mobile Navionics Boating HD maps, and Lake Washington shows on there. Contour lines, but not heavy on detail.

This is good advice for sure! Surely someone has personally mapped most of it.

Although......Not much contouring going on in that lake except one pretty small area in comparison to the rest of the lake.

Anything connected to and the MS river is hard to find.

We’re working on something with a Navionic’s card update. Rickie is talking about mapping it on one of my Helix units.

OK here’s the skinny on mapping for Lake Washington ...

LakeMaster has not mapped Washington ... it can be self-created with HB AutoChart Live (which I will do on my Zero Line card while we are there) ...

Navionics Nautical Charts does not cover Lake Washington ...
Navionics Sonar Charts does indeed cover Lake Washington ...
——-

Navionics Nautical Charts is mapped by Navionics ...
Navionics Sonar Charts is mapped by users and submitted to Navionics for their Community Edits program ...

There is no way I can find to tell when Lake Washington was added to the Community Edits program (to know if a certain year card has Washington) as it was most likely submitted by several different users over time ... but ...

Any Navionics South card that has an active subscription can be updated for current Nautical Charts data and current Sonar Charts data ...

Sonar Charts must be manually selected to see that contour data - regardless if viewing Navionics on their webapp, or if viewing in the app on a personal device (phone or tablet), or if viewing on a Chart plotter (HB or Lowrance) ...

*On the Navionics webapp or device app look for a “stacked pages” icon in the lower left of the screen ...
*On a HB unit look under the Chart tab for the “Chart Select Menu” and choose “Sonar Chart” (Fish n Chips in older units)
*On a Lowrance unit look under Menu/Chart Options/View and select Sonar Chart ..
