Humminbird Basemap is a map resource of U.S. lakes and coastline. It enables you to locate fish-holding structure, pinpoint fishing hot spots, and have more successful fishing adventures. The Humminbird Basemap also keeps freshwater and saltwater anglers safe by warning them about hazards and depths.
If you want to find your way along the US coast or lakes without reading traditional maps, try using the Humminbird Basemap! It is a coastal and lake map resource built into many Humminbird fish finder devices, helpful as some of the best hunting app maps I’ve used.

Humminbird Basemap Defined
The Humminbird® Basemap is a product of Johnson Outdoors Marine Electronics, Inc. – the world’s leading manufacturer of marine electronics. It is a map resource pre-loaded to many APEX, SOLIX, and HELIX Humminbird fish finders that compares to some of the best hunting and hiking apps.
The primary purpose of Humminbird Basemap is to point anglers fishing in the USA in the right direction and help them navigate to and from their points of interest. Showing freshwater depth contours in 10- and 20-foot increments makes it a valuable aid for controlled depth fishing, too.
Humminbird Basemap delivers valuable maps and data from Humminbird, NOAA, and numerous other reputable cartography sources. Besides a basic map of the entire US coast and more than 10,000 lakes, Humminbird Basemap also provides a view of underwater structures, potential points of interest, and navigational aids. It is available the moment anglers press the “on” button on their Humminbird fish finder.
Humminbird Basemap is not as detailed as some other Humminbird cartography options, but it is sufficient for recreational fishermen. Pro users can try LakeMaster® charts shown in this video:
