You can go online and preview Navionics lake maps anywhere in the world, whats on the Webapp will be on the chip. There are 2 views available the Nautical charts view with less detail and the SonarChart view with the "SonarChart Layer" which is much more detailed and precise. Follow this link to the webapp http://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#@6&key=orbpGbpzwP after you zoom in click on the sonar icon on the lower left of the screen for SonarChart view. I would rec. a Nav + card or if own a Hotmaps Premium the Navionics Updates card which converts your Premium to Nav +. Nav + covers all of US and Canada you download the area that you fish. So you can have anywhere in the US and Canada on one card not multiple cards.

You can also log sonar upload it to Navionics and they will process this data which you download to your card with updated cartography. You can also do updates to your card for the first free with purchase so your card will never be out of date. What this gives you if Navionics improves mapping in areas you can refresh your card.

Be aware not all sonars have a processor capable of running Nav + here is a link to the compatibility chart http://www.navionics.com/sites/default/files/documents/150702_ameri...

Here are some examples. Feel free to ask questions or pm me

The second one is Nautical charts which comes on Hotmaps Premium
The third one is Sonarchart which comes on Nav+ and Hotmaps Platinum

Go to the Web app and you can look at the Mapping data available, link is above
