Let’s talk mapping cards

I understand Humminbird has lake master and lake master only works with Humminbird.

Lowrance has C-map and only works with Lowrance.

Does Navionics work with all 3 brands, Humminbird, Lowrance, Garmin?

If you own a Humminbird, you could run Navionics and Lakemaster?

Lowrance is C-map and Navionics?

Garmin is what? Just Navionics?

Navionics will work with Lowrance and Humminbirds, not sure about Garmin. One of the Helix’s on my dash has both a Navionics and Lakemaster card in it and I can switch back and forth. For what it’s worth out here in West Texas Navionics had better coverage. Lakemaster don’t have any contours on one of my local lakes

I just started running the new Navionics with relief shading this year and absolutely love it. It makes creek channels and ledges pop and stand out on your unit.

What brand units?

Lowrance

Garmin bought the Navionics company.
Since then there are two product lines==Navionics works with most brands except Garmin, and Garmin Navionics that only works with Garmins.

Navionics Relief Shading with Humminbird----

If you go with Navionics get the platinum+ card, has aerial imagery. What’s great out by me is the images are when the lakes were really low. You can see the details really clear.

Really wish you could get lake level offset with Navionics, that relief shading is nice Wayne P.

that's pretty sweet. So is the relief shading only available on the platinum + version?

Does it have low water imagery on almost all lakes or just some? Do you have to pay for a subscription on top of buying the card for the aerial imagery to work?

I was wondering just the other day what I am going to do with these chips. Doesn’t each unit still need a map card.

Sold the bay boat and bass boat and now I guess I will have to find a new home for these on the cheap.

Not even sure what they are worth. If anyone knows the value shoot me a pm if you would.

Not sure, I know know the lakes I fish in my area are low when the imagery was taken, Twin Buttes, O.H. Ivie, E.V. Spence, Oak Creek, Brady, Amistad,

I use the Humminbird card, Lakemaster. I love mine as i have everything color coded to my liking. I* can just take a glance and not even have to read the depth, the color pretty much tells me. I can see humps and drop offs in seconds when looking at it. Plus you can get the StrikeSmart series that you can plug in certain information and it will give you the best spots to fish. I have found that when i am at a new lake this takes hours off of trying to find those hot spots.
