Speck are they the same maps as you would get for the HB. Are they inland maps? I have a 178c on the dash and it works well. Haven't bought the maps for it. Where did you get yours?

I have not purchased the map program. Just do not know anything about it and wanted to ask before I made a purchase. I have the Garmin 60Cx handheld.

no they are different than the hb yes they show inland lakes more accurate
and shows channels

More questions, what is HB stand for? Also is it worth getting the lake map for a handheld? They seem not to list a different program for handhelds.

Stands for Humminbird. I knew, when I was looking for maps for my Garmin, that they used different maps. I think the only place I found em' was through Garmin website.

Have it, like it, worth the $. However, I don't have enough experience with the competition to say that Garmins are better than any other. I have the Southern Software that shows MS, AL TN and others. One thing I have noted is that the more famous lakes are better detail than the lesser known. For example, there is a lot more info on Guntersville Lake than there is for Grenada - Not the countour lines I dont' suppose, but the marker information, community hole fishing areas, and "add on" information.

I have both the navionice gold and the hot maps both are great. I like the garmin best because I have used it the most. but I am getting use to the nav. gold. the hot maps are east to transfer waypoints and bursh pile locations to the hand held or from the hand held to the P.C. I cant do much with a computer but I can work the hot maps with no problems. good luck
