  • Enhanced Aerial Imagery - Navigate confidently and find new fishing spots
  • Auxiliary Contours - Provides additional contours in shallow water areas
  • Bottom Hardness - Helps anglers identify bottom composition and key fish-holding areas

How Does Humminbird Basemap Compare?

The Humminbird Basemap is preloaded on most Humminbird units and includes:

  • Coverage of 10,000+ lakes
  • Depth contours in 10' or 20' increments
  • Basic navigation and fishing information

While useful for general navigation, the Basemap lacks the precision, customization, and advanced fishing tools found in LakeMaster and CoastMaster products.
