Just wondering which chip you guys that fish both fresh and salt are using. Getting ready to move my saltwater boat north a bit. Instead of fishing down south out of Homestead I'm going to be bringing it up to the Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood area to keep it closer to the house. Down south I can run around blindfolded. Up north I'm darn near clueless. Looking for something that covers all of the SE portion of the state at least as well as Okeechobee and the Bahamas.

And pros or cons between the different price points on the premium, platinum, etc. Would like to be able to plot courses at home on the computer as well.

Appreciate it fellas.

Get the Navionics+ version, it has no maps.

You choose what to put on the card.

You can download coastal (Gold coverage) and inland waters (Premium or Platinum coverage) anywhere in the country up to 2GB of data. Check the coverage on the Navionics web site. You can view the maps on their Web App.

 

You get a year of Freshest Data updates, Sonar Charts, Community Edits---(for Lowrance),

You can delete all the data on the card and put different stuff on it if you want.

 

You would need a GPS simulator software to do the planning. Navplanner is one of them.

Routes, Waypoints and Tracks are GPS data. That is not a mapping function.

No GPS data is on the map cards. That is a function of the Plotter your unit has or some PC software.

Mapping is just a background on a Chart Plotter.

GPS is not mapping and mapping is not GPS--they work together.

Perfect thanks a bunch, Wayne.
