Key Features

• 1-foot contour lines for precise depth mapping and accurate fish-holding area identification
• Depth range shading up to 10 different levels enabling clear visual separation of bottom composition and depth zones
• Auto Guidance technology automatically calculates optimal routes based on vessel clearance and bottom depth
• Shallow water shading with user-defined parameters to enhance safety in water depths under 20 feet
• Integrated Garmin and Navionics data combining two major marine mapping sources for comprehensive coverage
• Detailed coverage of major Finnish lakes including Inarijarvi, Saimaa, Miekojärvi, and Oulujärvi with high-resolution contours

Data Insights

Anglers using detailed contour mapping with 1-foot resolution see measurable improvements in catch rates. Studies indicate that boats equipped with precision depth charts and contour data experience up to 30% higher fishing success when targeting structure-related fish populations. The shallow water shading feature reduces navigation hazards by clearly identifying areas where bottom contact risk exceeds acceptable margins, directly supporting safer passage through Finland's complex lake systems.

Usage Instructions

Insert the microSD/SD card into a compatible Garmin chartplotter, fish finder, or marine GPS unit. Once recognized, the chart displays automatically. Activate Auto Guidance and input your vessel's draft and beam specifications; the system will calculate safe passage routes. Customize depth range shading colors and shallow water warning thresholds through your device's settings menu for optimal visibility. Review contour lines and structure markings before departure to identify fishing zones and navigation waypoints.
