Better map-making makes for better fishing

Insight Genesis maps show contours, humps and holes (blue areas) that many other maps simply miss (gray areas).

You’ve heard the  saying, “Good data in, good data out. Bad data in, bad data out.” For fishermen, that means “Good map, good fishing. Bad map …” Well, you get the idea.

A bad map is the result of bad data. And many available fishing maps were built from bad data. That makes them … well, not good. Not nearly as good as you might have thought they were. Insight Genesis maps, however, show contours and fish-holding bottom structure based on good data – data you collect by recording and uploading your own sonar logs.

Insight Genesis Contest – TBF Federation Challenge

We’re excited to announce the Insight Genesis TBF Challenge with $100,000 in marine electronics prizes. Between now and December 31, 2014, the free contest is open to all The Bass Federation members.

Monthly and annual prizes will be awarded to individuals and TBF state associations that record the most acres of sonar recordings from compatible* Lowrance chartplotters, then upload those recordings to the Insight Genesis website.
