Continue to use your GPS religiously to mark hazzards and safe routes as you navigate them on your favorite lakes. That info will always be worth the money you spent on your GPS even if you're not satisfied with your current basemap. I have added about 150 waypoints simply marking the outside weedline of my favorite lake so as I set up for casting or trolling there is little left to guessing even though the shoreline may not correspond to my actual location on the water. I've tested "My" waypoints and routes a half dozen times and they remain "right on the money". That's what I really bought the GPS for anyway. It's also real handy for getting around on Lake Vermilion for general navigation even though I'd never trust it for avoiding hazzards unless I'd created waypoints marking a specific hazzard myself. Keep working with it. It's a great tool.
