JB Mid Columbia : Fishing Forum Posts

I have a question. I just purchased my first 2 Humminbird products. Solix 12 and Solix 10. I am trying to get the river depth to show up on the chart. What setting do I need to adjust to get this? I know with my Lowrance, It was already programed. I get nervous running our River with water levels raising and lowering. I kind of feel naked not knowing the depths. Does it come out of the box with this data or do I need to buy a chip?

Ok, but as I read it, it is suppose to come with Basemap out of the box. On the Humminbird website, Basemap shows it has the Columbia River covered. How do I get the Basemap working?

I appreciate your help. I have ordered Lake Master Chips. Seems like for what I paid for them, they should be included. Oh well. Excited to learn these machines.
