If you don't have it already IMO your best bet is the Navionics download for smart phones. At least one will be able to see where they are at GPS wise on the map verse depth, contours, etc. being portrayed.
I think the download for a smart phone is somewhere in the $10 buck range (once on the phone and the needed areas/maps are downloaded you don't have to have cell coverage for it to work). I downloaded it back when they first released it and I think I paid $2 bucks for it back then. I've since added the sonarchart function for more detailed views if I remember right. Regardless of the price it would be a invaluable tool IMO for this particular situation.
I didn't check to see if the lake you are going to is available/charted already so something to check out before purchasing. You can go to the Navionics website and click on the Web App and check out where you are going. If it is listed there then it is avaible for the phone app.
