Looking to buy new units because I'm tried of the basic maps being so far off any suggestions? electronics
If you want flexibility with your mapping options, as stated above, you will want to stick to Lowrance, Humminbird or Raymarine. All of those units give you multiple mapping options with all of the 3 taking Navionics mapping as their common. Some of the maps are better than others and that is somethign you should look at the areas you fish vs the mapping available to decide which you feel is best for you. You can view the mapping available from Navionics at:

To see the difference just toggle the sonar charts layer on and off while looking at Toledo Bend on the Webapp above.
