My 2 93sv's are 4-5 years old. The maps look like someone gave a 6yr old the outline of lakes and said draw a bunch of squiggly lines. Not even close to what is there. which map screen are you in? navigation shows very few contours, fishing on my 2 93sv plus (non hd) do a good job on fork. I am going to upgrade to the ultra maps soon tho, sounds like they are about the same as navionics platinum. Not sure what you mean. I only navigation or 3d. No fishing map unless it's hidden somewhere

Its nowhere near as detailed as navionics but its better than nothing.

Now that Garmin owns Navionics, can you just download all the maps to a WiFi Garmin unit like you can to your phone?

My units are about 5 or 6 years old and my maps are terrible. I bought the upgrade at the time and they are still terrible. Guess I need to upgrade to newer units.
See you on the lake and have a great day!

You can buy the latest upgrade card https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/27597Honestly if you don't own a computer theres no reason to buy these modern electronics, your only getting a fraction out of them that you could over their life without upgrading with updates.

That's why i don't have the newest and greatest. I replaced a couple of tiny 20 year old units with cheap 93's. I would like to have decent maps on them though
