{"product_id":"humminbird-lakemaster-vx-premium-minnesota-map-card","title":"Humminbird LakeMaster VX Premium - Minnesota Map Card","description":"\u003cp class=\"nvn-hero\"\u003eThe Humminbird LakeMaster VX Premium Minnesota card turns your HELIX, SOLIX, APEX, or XPLORE unit into a serious Minnesota fishing tool. You get high-detail lake contours, customizable VX color palettes, depth and shallow-water highlights, and full coverage of Lake of the Woods, both U.S. and Canadian waters. Drop the SD card in and read the bottom before you fish it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you fish Minnesota, you already know the water does a good job of hiding fish from you. The Humminbird LakeMaster VX Premium Minnesota card changes that. It's an SD card loaded with high-resolution lake mapping that drops straight into your Humminbird unit and turns a flat blue screen into a real read on the bottom. Deep breaks, shallow flats, the inside edge of a weedline, that little offshore hump nobody else is fishing. It's all right there before you ever wet a line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the Premium tier of LakeMaster VX, so you're getting the upgraded mapping experience. VX Technology brings customizable color palettes to the table, and that sounds minor until you're staring at a washed-out screen in bright afternoon sun. Being able to set the contour colors to the exact contrast your eyes want makes structure jump off the display. You can tune the map to emphasize what matters and quiet down what doesn't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage is all Minnesota, and it goes deep. That includes the entire Lake of the Woods, both the U.S. and Canadian waters, which matters a lot if you run north for walleye. Big water, complicated structure, and a lot of border to keep straight. Having it charted in detail on the same card as your home lake means you're not swapping cards or guessing when the trip gets ambitious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe feature set is where the Premium card earns its keep. Depth Highlight lets you pick a depth range and light it up in color across the whole map, so if the fish are stacked in 18 to 22 feet, you can see every stretch of the lake that holds that band. Shallow Water Highlight does the same thing for the skinny stuff, adjustable anywhere from 0 to 60 feet, which is gold when you're easing into spawning bays or trying to stay off the rocks. Water Level Offset keeps your contour lines honest when the lake is up or down from normal pool, so a 10-foot line still means 10 feet under your boat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou also get 2D Shaded Relief for a clearer sense of how the bottom rolls and drops, Aerial Imagery so you can line up with real shoreline landmarks, and Chart Presets that let you save a couple of view setups and flip between them without digging through menus. On select HD lakes, SmartStrike takes your conditions, season, time of day, and water temp, and points you at the spots most likely to hold fish. It's not magic, but it's a smart place to start on a lake you've never seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility is straightforward. This card works with HELIX G3 and G3N and newer, all SOLIX units, all APEX units, and all XPLORE units. One thing to check before your first trip: your unit needs to be running current basemap software for the VX card to display everything correctly. It's a free update from Humminbird, and it's worth doing at the dock the night before, not at the landing at 5 a.m. Give yourself the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all ties into the One-Boat Network too, so your Humminbird electronics stay on the same page and share the mapping you're running. Drop the card in, update your software, set your palette, and go fish. One quick heads-up on the fine print: this card carries a 1-Year Cartography Warranty, and because it's mapping data, opened packages aren't eligible for return. So make sure this is the right region and the right compatibility for your unit before you break the seal. If you're not sure, ask us. We'd rather get you the right card than run a return we both can't do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVX Technology with customizable color palettes so you can set contour contrast for bright sun or low light\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDepth Highlight paints a chosen depth range across the whole map to find every spot holding your target band\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShallow Water Highlight adjustable from 0 to 60 feet for working spawning bays and staying off the rocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater Level Offset keeps contour depths accurate when the lake is above or below normal pool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2D Shaded Relief reveals how the bottom rolls, drops, and transitions at a glance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAerial Imagery lines you up with real shoreline landmarks for confident navigation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmartStrike on select HD lakes points you toward likely fish locations by season and conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChart Presets save your favorite view setups so you can flip between them fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplete Minnesota coverage including all of Lake of the Woods, U.S. and Canadian waters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with HELIX G3\/G3N and newer, all SOLIX, all APEX, and all XPLORE units\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-Boat Network integration keeps your Humminbird electronics working together\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDelivered on an SD card, ready to drop into your unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Humminbird reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhich Humminbird units does this card work with?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt's compatible with HELIX G3 and G3N and newer, all SOLIX units, all APEX units, and all XPLORE units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/details\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eDo I need to update my unit before using the card?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
