Can anyone tell me is there any appreciable difference in the 2016 version of this mapping software and their prior release (in 2015) v15 ??

I am a bit of a mapping nut and really don't mind buying the new if there is some significant difference. I like the 3D shaded relief and if the new 2016 version has more maps showing this....I'll probably buy.

What's the difference in the two ??

I believe the version 16 added the satellite background to the maps so you can see the details on land. All I know.

Funny how Lowrance and Humminbird come up with the same technology.
I like it though.

In further examination it appears they have added the ability to change depth colors. Nice but nothing Earth shattering.

I am trying like crazy to find a chip that has good detail of the area of LOW north of Wiley Point....ie the northwest section of Lake of the Woods. It's making me nuts.
Every time I fish that area with an Insight chip, there literally is a line that ends coverage from around Yellow Girl straight out to Wiley Point. It's maddening !

Someone told me Navionics + chip does OK. I know it handles a remote area like Rough Rock Lake further north OK.

PSA,

How is the detail for Sabaskong bay with your current Lowrance chip?
