From the fresh gmapsupp.img(from zip) do we need to unlock it first? to ->
Navigation chart can be seen just fine but when switched to Fishing chart it wont show up... Restricted or something msg.
Well if anyone could help thanks alot. :O
Is the problem that we do not have C:\Documents and Settings --- folder?

You got instructions by pm and are always the same:
Copy the gmapsupp.img in a Garmin directory in sd, start Homeport.Homeport read locked maps too
If you want to use it in plotter unlock it with gimgunlock.
Fishing charts are available in this map as shown in my screens above. Set in Menu/View/Chart Views/Fishing Chart
Printing restrictions are in every Garmin Bluecharts because Garmin didnt get licence for that.
Garmin does not make their own maps. They buy map data from a variety of providers. Some of these providers give the data to Garmin on condition that users can't print it.
I sent you the link for a workaround to print it.

Yes i can see the map from the SD but no depth details i only see as shown here: - This is the fishing chart: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I did unlock this IMG aswell.
Navigation chart shows the depth readings fine.
Garmin homeport 2.1.1

I wont get the depth readings do i need to adjust this somehow? thanks.

Do you try to zoom in map?
I see very general picture on your picture. On this scale device not show depth spots and digits on contour. In fishing chart mode the map is overloaded by details. You must remember what in that mode the map is not draw the real data. It is artificially created map using a special algorithm and only based on the real data. Contour of depth be synthesized with maximal frequency for giving better presentation map. You must not use the fishing chart for navigation!!! It is danger!!! But for fishing it is very useful because you have a possibility to visualize the relief of water-body. As well it give me a chance to try to keep the required depth on trolling route. In this case all risk is lost valuable jig spinners

•Fishing charts to help scope out bottom contours and depth soundings with less visual clutter on the display.
Bathymetric charts include many details such as depth contours, names of local canyons, wrecks, obstructions.
Bathymetric data is intended to be used as a fishing chart and is designed for use in conjunction with traditional BlueChart data.
See for example this old MS chart:
