Navionics Silver or NauticPath for Delta?

Does anyone know which of these two cards (or any other in the same price range) provides the best maps for the delta?

Thanks

Jeff

NauticPath all the way. Unless you want to see the names of the areas. NauticPath has the depths, hazards, tide charts, etc. Just doesn't show the names of the sloughs and lakes.

The NauticPath is a great card for the Delta showing "some" of the hazzards, contours, tides and everything like Robert has already mentioned.

.... I have no experience with the Navonics so I can not say one is better than the other.

I do know that I got my card from The Hook and it was $99. Call and make sure he has some in stock all set to go for you.

NauticPath is a great card.. for the Delta

You can find everything from phone numbers and locations to marinas and gas stops to tides and hazards along with depths.

Got mine at FW in Manteca for $99-

Is that $99 just for the delta card or do you get other lakes on that???

The NauticPath sounds great, but does it really not have the names of all of the sloughs???? That sounds like a huge oversight, and I think I may rather have a less detailed map but know what the name of the place I am at is although I would like to have both.

There is one Nauticpath card for the whole US not just for the delta, not sure if it includes any lakes

NauticPath is for Coast Guard jurisdiction waters. It does not show any inland lakes. Just waters that connect to the Ocean. You will be better off with the NauticPath and a map (for the slough names) on the Delta. The tide charts are awesome. They do identify their location. Last month at Columbia river we had to change between NauticPath and inland lakes to keep the depth markers. The NauticPath mapping ends a couple of miles below the takeoff at Columbia park.
