Posts: 431 | I finally have a GPS (Lowrance Elite5 DSI) that can use a legit mapchip. I was trying to figure out what map to buy. I live on Lake St Clair, and spent 99 percent of my time there, Erie, Saginaw bay. I do trailer and explore new places though from time to time, mostly to northern Michigan. I was looking at the Navionics website and I cant make sense of what Im even buying with the different options. Im no techy but all I want is a really accurate, really sharp contours (1ft or less), map of the bottom of the places I fish. If you guys can clarify what it is each of these things is it would help my on my decision greatly! Thanks! Navionics+ -This seems like what I want. It is more precise than the phone app though right? Navionics Platinum+ -Is this the same as Nav+ but with 3D view and panoramic pics of shoreline stuff? Navionics Hotmaps Platinum + -Why is this cheaper than platinum, it seems to have everything platinum has and more. Is it only certain lakes or an add-on to another card I buy or something? Im looking at Navionics because its the name I know. If I should be looking into something else feel free to make a suggestion. Thanks! | ||

It is more precise than the phone app though right? The same data or cartography on the app is the same data as on the map cards. Navionics Platinum+ -Is this the same as Nav+ but with 3D view and panoramic pics of shoreline stuff? Yes Navionics Hotmaps Platinum + -Why is this cheaper than platinum, it seems to have everything platinum has and more. Is it only certain lakes or an add-on to another card I buy or something? Platinum will not run in your unit. Only HDS model Lowrances Im looking at Navionics because its the name I know. If I should be looking into something else feel free to make a suggestion. You can only run a Navionics + regions card in the Elite 5 DSI do to processor speed. See attached guide It appears the Regions East Card will cover your needs https://navionics-store.com/collections/navionics/products/navionics...
