It is always a good idea to go to a shop who sells the chips and has units on display so you can see what is on the chip and check out your personal fishing areas and see if that is the data you want to see. If it is, buy the chip, if it is not helpful, don't buy the chip.

Ok.. the best card to use in your graphs will be the Navionics Hotmaps Platinum. This is the top of the line for Fresh water. This card has it all, 3D Overlays, Sonarchart information (1’depth contours) , community edits and even tides for the delta..

Agree with Travis, the Platinum is nice. Really like the satellite overlay.
