Lakemaster is a way better map card than Navionics especially on the HD lakes the features you have with it is just unreal hope they keep adding HD lakes like my home lake Livingston there's no detail on Lakemaster nor Navionics but I rarely fish it so its no big deal.

Here's a look at the same areas of Fork, just for the sake of comparison.

Again, just for the sake of clarity...

Lake Livingston is a Navionics HD Lake.
I'd be happy to zoom in on any particular area if you'd like. Admittedly, any company's maps become a bit cluttered when zoomed out this far.

I will have too look again Doug on both cards for Livingston when I fished it a few weeks ago were I was at had no detail on either card course the average depth were I was at is probably only 5-7 feet so probably cant get much detail out of that.

Someone contacted me and asked about comparing mapping between Electronics and Mapping Company. Since this post got into some comparison the image below shows the comparison as equal as can be done between Electronics Manufacturers and Mapping Companies. Intersting the differences.



Which software has the true path of the creek channels? They are not the same and not even close in some areas.

I'd make sure you're taking advantage of the Freshest Data updates for your Navionics card. Not sure when Livingston got all this detail, but it's most definitely there. It would be a shame to go fishing without it.

A few more with some zooming for better idea of what's on there...

Already posted Livingston from LakeMaster. Livingston is not HD from LakeMaster yet. Like most all Mapping Companies LakeMaster Continually scans and adds new data as they acquire the data. Texas/Oklahoma is already on the second version where several lakes where added and many where updated to higher data levels. LakeMaster is only in it's second year of scanning Texas and Oklahoma lakes. Looks like they are capturing more details when they do get everything in HD.

Want to compare more HD Lakes? I'm Game...it only helps the consumer in choosing the best mapping products for them.

Livingston does have contours but those images are posted at the same zoom level you did and was done so consumers can compare the same level of data. Livingston is not HD yet but does have contour lines.

LakeMaster when a lake is HD is done to the best data that day...guess when you do it right the first time and capture the details as was suppose to be done you don't need to update as often. And LakeMaster when doing HD Scanning is using only their approved scan teams. There can tons of variables that can add inaccuracies using the general public...like how deep is the transducer in the water, are they getting good GPS REception, where the GPS Receiver is from the transducer and lake level the day they scanned. How are these variables over come? None of that was taken in account when I send recordings in..it was go get them. Then they didn't even use them. Guess I'll leave my mapping to the expert charter that LakeMaster uses. Also sounds like these updates are forever? Isn't it just one year on the updates then you have to pay again to extend? Why wasn't the data collected the first time?

Funny you don't want to help others compare Apple to Apples so they can make the best decision for themselves. Heck you pick the spots of HD Lakes booth brands have and I'm up for showing what LakeMaster has to offer from the current version 2 of Texas/Oklahoma Lakes. But lets look all over the lakes from the back of the creeks to main lake structure. Consumers deserve to see what they are getting. I'm just trying to give example of what they get with LakeMaster. Shouldn't they get the opportunity to see the same from Navionics. Both are great companies but there are differences in product. Let show them what their hard earned dollars are going towards and let them make the decision based on their needs and detail level.
