    Which card are you guys using Standard maps or Louisiana one card?

    I am looking for a sd card for my Lowrance.
    There seems to be two big players Louisiana one card and Standard maps.
    Which one are you guys using and why?

    i have the Navionics card in my lowrance. I am using the one that covers the entire US. If there is one any more detailed than it for LA, i have not seen it.

    My friend said there were two.
    standard mapping and Louisiana one card.
    Were are trying to figure out which one is the best for South Louisiana.
    We figured it out one $350 and other $450 with more options.

    Navionics makes a chip for lowrance. It's the Navionics platinum 907 card. It covers the entire gulf coast from Texas to Florida and is a good card. It is similar to looking at google maps. It does not have the names of canals like the E-cards do but it covers a bigger area.

    Standard mapping makes the La one card. In my opinion it’s the best out there.

    The Navionics Hotmaps Platinum card includes Satellite maps which I have used with great success in LA. You can play with the transparency of the mapping to see more satellite.

    I also like to up the transparency so you can basically use 2 maps, the satellite and the regular mapping. You can set it to see through the satellite image. I like the way it shows where the original canals were and the original channels.

    Hotmaps Platinum only shows satellite imagery for HD lakes. None of which are located in south Louisiana.

    907 is a great card, but the Louisiana One card is better for the Spillway. The 907 has some coverage gaps in the Spillway. I have both.
