Hello,
I'm planing on buying my first boat (old BW17) which I would like to equip with GP 1971F.
I intend to use it mostly for bottom fishing up to 600feet with majority bellow 300. Finding
new bottom spots is a priority. Preferably at planing speed. Rocks/gravel oasis between sand.
Also some light trolling and spearfishing. For the later it's important to find ledges between
30 to 60 feet for catching those predators, thus bathymetry is important.
Firstly, can someone explain to me if I will be able to generate personal bathymetry charts
with this unit without sharing this data with Navionics? From what I understand I need to
buy at least Navionics+ subscription to get this feature.
Secondly, what happens after subscription plan ends. Does one lose the ability to
display self generated bathymetry data, previously generated?
And lastly, any transducer suggestions? Thinking of starting with P66 to get the feeling and
Upgrade if needed.
Thank you,
Ivo
