| I switched to my 997 for a number of reasons with the two biggest being the side imaging and how you can change where the blue shading of Navionics chips goes. I can move the blue shading from like 1ft to 180 if I remember right which is really cool if I want to keep my boat in 18ft to hit a deep weededge or not run my boat onto the high spots of reefs. As for the bundle, non of the pre loaded maps in the bundle are hi definition, they are hot spots at best. The only way the Navionics bundle is worth the money is for you look into the lakes that you are going to fish first and decide that they are worth it.

In my opinion if any of the lakes that you fish are listed as high definition (1ft contours highlighted in red on the list) you want to buy the mapping card for that region. Now if you fish a region and the lakes you are going to fish are not hi definition then the Navionics bundle is worth it. If you are only going to fish say Mille Lacs, Leech and Vermillion then buy the chip and don't get the bundle. The bundle being worth it depends on your situation. | |
