Is there a software package that can be bought that would show you lake depths on a Magellan 330 gps for various lakes in MI?

I talked to a salesman at Jays awhile back and I think he said that FishingHotspot does have inland lake depth but there are not many lakes avaliable for it. I planned on heading over there tommorrow so i'll double check that for ya Steve.
:D By the way "AWESOME" site. Just can't seem to turn the computer off since I registered:D

That sure would be awesome and worth the price. Can you imagine seeing a hole on the screen and just navigating to the depth you want to fish whether it be on ice or water? Could pretty much eliminate the need for a depth finder.

Steve,
I haven't really seen any yet. What I do now is get a paper chart and plot the GPs coordinates. I use the UTM coordinate system and it's real easy.
Many of the USGS maps have depth data for Lke St. Clair and Lake Erie. There are a few inland maps on a few systems. I get a few from MapCard. I got it at Cabelas for about $15, and it allows me internet access to maps to print or download. I don't think you can get them into a GPS receiver.
I have a LCX-19C on order and I would be interested in this. Let us know if you find anything.

Talked to salsman at Jays today and Mapsource does have a CD for inland lake contuors. However the lakes are limited. Ones I did notice were Cadilliac Wixom Mitchall those are the ones I can remember of the top of my head but there were about fifteen in total.
Sorry I didnt get the info when I said I would Steve, got to busy with the honey do list. Any way hope this helps.:)
