There are a number of choices out there. I just helped a buddy install a new lowrance 522 I think is what it is. I want to get him a lake chip but don't know which one to go with. Navionics, Lake Master, Hot Spots? Which one is best?

To get all them covered in one chip the Navionics Premium North is the one you want, I believe.

Premium North will cover MN and WI. But there's nothing that will cover all of those waters. There's also a LOTW chip. Not sure if the Canada chip covers both Eagle and LOTW, but I would assume that it does.

The LOTW +2k covers Lake of the Woods, Eagle, Rainy, several other NW Ontario lakes, and all the big MN lakes from Mille Lacs north. No Metro lakes, no WI.

Ok so I ordered the LakeMaster already as that is what the guy at Cabellas Gander and Rollie and Hellens all told me to. Do you think I will be happy.

Lakemaster had like 7 lakes in my area. I haven't counted the Navionics premium yet, but it has to be near 40+. Navionics has the same 1ft contour lakes as the Lakemaster ones. For an extra $50 Navionics was a no brainer.
