I have a Magellan Meridian that I use as a back up to my fixed mount Standard Horizon, and, yes, it is quite possible to download a useable image of the lake.
Mine came from Magellan's "MapSend - Streets and Destinations" CD. Since I bought the GPS before Bizer offered the electronic NavAids file, I programmed them in using the data on the back of Bizer's chart of the lake. Because of the limited screen space, I stuck with the lighted bouys plus a few of the other listed waypoints.
With that said, nothing else out there even comes close to the C-Map chip with Bizer's full chart detail running on a color GPS. I finally upgraded to that, in combination with an S-H 175C, last Spring; it made a huge difference in my comfort level with exploring new areas of the lake.
