[QUOTE="richg99, post: 424543, member: 4376"] I've never used a FF for much more than a depth/temperature gauge. Recently, I have been fishing areas with flooded timber. As the lakes are lower now, those trees are much nearer to the surface than before. My question is....is the mapping software on a $500./$700 unit similar to the Helix good enough to show me, in advance, that I am entering an area with underwater trees? I know enough to go very slow once I am in the trees. I was looking at a full-size physical map yesterday of Conroe. It was well marked as to the areas that I would be entering. Is that sort of data present on a Helix type of unit? Even though I have been boating/fishing for most of my 77 years, obviously, this area has escaped me Any and all input and help appreciated. richg99 [/QUOTE]
