Ok, so I can't believe how worthless the maps on my new HDS 7 are. They may as well have not bothered. I don't have time to mess around with that stupid insight genesis "social maps" [censored] and no one has uploaded anything on there of Conroe or Fayetteville when i checked that. So... i need to buy a good map chip that has the Texas lakes on it, with all the good stuff on them. Boat lanes where needed, dangerous areas, creek beds, you name it. I want to be able to safely navigate lakes I am not super familiar with. Point me in the right direction folks! I obviously don't know [censored] about it, and honestly, don't want to invest a great deal of time learning to build custom maps and all that jazz. I want to volunteer to captain a high school team boat and want to feel comfortable on lakes I am not super familiar with, as I am fairly new to the Houston area lakes. If this is unrealistic... tell me what is realistic.

Thanks!
