lakemasters vs Navionics

For our lakes, you will find that most of the electronic map/charts are not that good, mainly due to the fact that none of the companies that map, never come out here. I would suggest that you get Fishn Map Co. maps of our lakes. Curtis Sportbert, the founder of Fish n Maps is a cartographer by trade, worked in the oil patch. Fish n maps was a side line. He took original topo maps of areas before they were flooded and made the maps you purchase. Don't know if he has converted any of his maps to electronic formats as of yet, but the maps he puts out are the best you can find for most of the western lakes, including Deer Creek, Jordanelle, Pineview, Starvation, Yuba, etc.

Natural lakes like Bear Lake and Utah Lake to my knowledge have been mapped on a very cursory level, so the maps are not very detailed. Most of the newer sonars have a mapping feature that allows you to use your sonar readings to create your own map. Check your users manual to access the feature.
