I’m looking for a map of Ogishkemuncie that shows detailed fishing structure and depth. I have the McKenzie and Fisher maps but want to know if other maps are available.

Go to the Navionics web page. They have detailed maps you can print for free. I have the chip in my fish finder and really like it. You can also buy the app for your cell phone and use it in the BWCA.

Like Savage said, Navionics has maps available for most BW lakes. I've found that the accuracy isn't 100% but it's pretty close which is way better than anything else I've found. I print maps off the app on my iPad and that seems to work ok, it allows you to print gps points.

Here is the link for the web version. The app is also very cool.

Navionics

Anyone know how to obtain contour maps for true boundary waters lakes? I am specifically looking for a map of Gneiss Lake up in the Devil's Elbow area and can't seem to locate one. Navionics doesn't show this lake or any of the other lakes on the border, I am assuming due to being on the border.

For the unmapped lakes, I think your only option is to buy one of the new depthfinders that saves depth readings and creates its own map. Of course, you'll have to do a lot of paddling to cover the entire lake bottom.

Anybody know how to 'Print" from the Navionics site?

I can get the maps I want to show up from the "Charts" page, but when I go to print, the page prints a blank....

Thanks.

If you want a lake that is not mapped you need to map it yourself with the chip in your depth finder. Then next time you plug into your computer you will download and upload any information you took and any information you need.

As far as printing a page on Navionics you might want to try a screen shot. I think I can print from mine because I have the chip and the paid subscription for the year.
