Location: With my son on the water | I am looking for feedback about the Navionics Premium chip for $150 or and the Platinum chip for $200? I will be using the chip on LOTW in an HD 5 unit?
Thanks  Have a good day. |

Location: Kingston, Ontario | Go with the Navionics +. You get the sonar chart layer, can choose any region and update lakes with your own logs. For my area in Ontario it was the best option by far. |

| Yep, someone beat me to it, Navionics + you get the SonarCharts high def layer and SonarCharts is available in Canada now, you select the areas you want and load it to the chip. Much better than Premium |

Location: Planet Meltdown | Is the Navionics + compatible with the newer Humminbird HD units? Humminbird website does not have the Navionics plus just the platinum plus. |

Location: Kingston, Ontario | I have an older 987C SI and it is compatible with it, so Im sure it works with all the new units.
The Navionics + is really just a subscription membership that gives you data access. You buy it and get a writeable card. Take it home, setup an account, and plug it into your computer. You choose what region you want and it will put it onto the card for you as long as there is enough memory. It also have has the Sonar Charts layer where available which gives 1ft contours vs typical 5 or 10ft. I believe the Sonar Charts is like the Platinum in terms of contours but the Navionics+ allows you to choose what regions you want. It is absolutely the best deal and quality. You get updates for a year, sonar log recording and updates, and after the year you don't lose the data so you don't necessarily have to renew after that. |

I honestly don't know what the Navionics + is?
I have a Cabela's gift card and I need another chip for LOTW. The 2 options are the Preium for $150 or the Platinum for $200, so what is the +?
Thanks |

Location: Northwest WI | I have both in my boat. I run the Premium in a 997 up front and the Platinum in a 1198 on the dash. I ran the Premium exclusively for a couple years with no trouble but found areas that didn't have detailed (depth) coverage. I added Platinum last year because it had much better coverage on the Canadian side.
If I had to pick one I'd recommend the Platinum. |
