Now, if I were to be boating/fishing in other waters, there was a HUGE difference.
LAKE INSIGHT PRO VS NAVIONICS SOFTWARE
When viewing, be sure to zoom in and click on the circular icon in the bottom left of the screen, no highlighted and your viewing NauticalChart, highlighted blue and you're viewing the SonarChart layer. A year ago the Navionics software really doesnt give me much more definition than the Lake Insite stuff that came with the unit. This is free to everyone and shows all the maps Navionics offers in both NauticalChart and SonarChart. My recommendation would be to check out the Navionics WebApp on their website. visual I thought I slightly prefer the C-Map (I definitely prefer its tidal stream information points) but I see now the Navonics seems less cluttered - Navonics narrower symbols seems to help. Freshest Data updates are available online for Gold and Platinum+ marine charts, HotMaps Premium and HotMaps Platinum lake maps for North America, and new. SonarCharts offer some of the best maps I've ever used as they are newly contributed maps that actually make HD mapping even more so HD. - coverage Comparison of Navionics and C-Map for B&G Vulcan. The exception is that Premium doesn't come with SonarCharts, where Platinum and Navionics+ both do. Premium comes with NauticalCharts, which is the same exact mapping you get on a Platinum or a Navionics + card. There are some deals out there on them but honestly I'm telling you straight up that's like buying out dated equipment. Erc1105 - I do have the Premium but mind you a couple things. We put fishing maps to the test reviewing the standard Navionics chip VS the NEW C-Map from Lowrance and the difference is insane.
