I am relatively new to fishing.  I fish from the shore/bank of lakes as I do not own a boat so obviously I do not have a depth/fish finder to know the layout lake bottom.

I found this software from http://www.nulime.com/Navionics-Hotmaps-Explorer-DVD-10000-Lake-Maps/p277305

Has anyone used this before and if so was it worth the investment.  

I use it a lot. Without a boat I am not sure how much use you will get out of it. You can purchase them for 19.95 plus shipping several places.

I use it all the time but without a boat it would not be of any help.

I appreciate the feedback.

I was hoping it would give me some depth of lake contours and also give me an idea of coves and such that has accessible roads.  Well if nothing else it will give me maps of for just about any lake I want to fish

I hope to have a boat next year, barring no financial emergencies come up.

Greetings again all!

I appreciate the responses. I ordered the dvd and have received it.

at first I was a little disappointed because google maps gives me a better map of the lake but when I ordered the HD version of the lake I fish the most I was quite pleased.

Even though I am a shore fisherman right now, it gives me an idea of how far out and how deep the bottom contour is. Now I have a better understanding why I had been doing so good in this one spot, it seems I had been casting right to an edge where the water changes from 6' deep to 20'.

Thanks again for the input and I am glad I purchased this product.

(still learning the 3-d part of it).
