Lowrance Mapping

Can I get some quick input from anyone who is using the Lowrance mapping system in their HDS Live? California is my main objective. I've been researching the difference between the Navionics + and the Platinum + Any thoughts or opinions are welcome.

Funny I should read this post. I was just getting ready to call the Assessors office this morning to ask about my increase as well. I'm not well versed on how the unsecured property tax rate is predicated, so time to learn. Mine went up $43. Not going to break the bank but I'm just curious now.
