I bought a Hook 4 Chirp Ice machine from Bass Pro last week and it's perfect for what I need. Some basic contours of lakes and decent sonar. I'm more of a summer bass guy so don't need anything ultra fancy for when I get some hard water time put in during the winter to help stave off these Michigan winters and fill my fishing itch. One of the features that I thought was cool was the ability of the Lowrance units to be loaded up with the C-MAP genesis social maps. I added my unit and downloaded a map for the lake some of us are ice fishing this weekend. It all seems to have worked fine, minus the fact that the map is colored a little funny. For starters, it's the only map that will load on the unit, everything else is hidden. Then there are no options to disable it or go back to the built in maps. When zoomed out it's all green, then as you zoom in and more contours show, it's colored from light/dark blue and then dark purple. All the contours are there when I zoom in, but the purple just isn't that easy on the eyes.
Does anyone else have any experience with the Genesis maps? I suppose this will work fine outside of being a little annoying, but would really love if there was a way to change the colors or do something different.
Thanks!
