    Haven't found a decent one yet Al. Wequaket is about the only good map in the area for any of the cards.

    Navionics is really the only choice and it sucks. The only good thing about it is the Sonar Charts Live option so you can build your own ACURATE map for the areas you fish.

    Having had both on rig at same time, Navionics in noway comes close to Lakemaster in all the bodies of water I've been on.

    I have both also. Navionics is so bad, I never use it. Al, if you remind me, you can try the Navionics card at Lakeville.
