What is the difference in the different mappings for the HD units? Is the Basemap just contours and basic outline?

Go to BPS or cabellas and look at the difference between insight and base on your favorite lakes. On some lakes like Lewisville neither one is much help. You will probably still buy an additional navionics map.

I got the base because I knew I was going to get a navionics card, so I figured it did not matter.
