Location: north central wisconsin | I have both and prefer the Navionics. Better value, much easier to read, and most of the lakes I fish are in igh detail, much the same as the lakemaster. That said, it all depends on the Lowrance unit you are using, regarding zoom. Be careful of when what you read was written, as updates are made on the units to allow improvements all the time. My LCX 25 and 111 both allow the Navionics to zoom to the capability of the unit, or the same as the Lakemaster chip. The smaller units(like the 332) only allow a 1/8 mile zoom on the Navionics. So, you'll need to compare the chip to your unit, and the software update inside. That said, I do like a Lakemaster chip for the handheld ifinder, as it will allow for a closer zoom. Other than for that, the lakemaster would stay home.
