I have a Garmin Striker 4 Plus, that I use for my kayak and ice fishing. I mainly use it just to map the smaller lakes and rivers I fish. I would like to upgrade my fish finder, and I would like to find something where I can download the maps I create to a computer to review, and possibly print. Does Lowrance, Garmin, or Hummingbird offer this feature. I started looking into it, and it seems like the available software is more for updating the maps.

A lot of the higher end units have Bluetooth, and you can see everything on your phone. You should be able to send them to a computer or tablet as well.

Not sure if you can, but might, with the Garmin 'Active Captain'. You might call Garmin and ask them. The AC is an app, and download maps, via other people that has the map you are looking for.

Only problem with that is they will be very pricey for a kayak user. Just my opinion.😂😂

Most 4" unit will run you over 100. The Garmin 7" striker, was only 300, might be more now! And that will give you the Active Captain.

I have the Lowrance elite series unit and with C-MAP or Navionics software you can do the local maps. It is referred to as Community maps.
