Delta: Navionics or Nautic HD or ??? - best contouring?

If this has been covered, can someone point me to the recent post?

I currently have Nautic HD card in my Lowrance Gen 3. I believe it shows 3' contours on the delta but I've seen mention that the Navionics (not sure which version) shows 1' contours.

My question is what is the best mapping card out there for the California Delta?

Navionics Platinum or Navionics Plus + - West Coast - Barr none. 1 ft. increments, Freshest Data for one year.

Ranger519v...For your Lowrance Gen 3 I would highly recommend the Navionics Hotmaps Platinum...This mapping card comes preloaded with Sonarchart which is all the Hd 1' depth contours plus has the 3d aerial overlay that helps you find back waters that are less traveled And last but not least also has the tides tables located all over the delta so you can tell what that tides doing at anytime in a specific area..
Also as Brian stated, Navionics just released the Navionics Regions mapping card which is a similar mapping card but it doesn't come with the 3d capabilities and this card is about $50 less than the Top of the Line Navionics Hotmaps Platinum card...
