navionics or lakemaster

What charting chips do folks like? I live in Raleigh and Humminbird has Jordan and Harris but not Falls and Navionics has Jordan and Falls but not Harris...

I am 100% a believer in Lakemaster. It has a purple/pink color line where the river channel is located and Navionics does not. Here is a good way to compare--go to Navionics and open the Web App that they have and look at Harris. Then look back at some of the screenshots I posted last Sunday. The river channels on the Navionics chip I have is like a series of circles and you will see the Lakemaster has a well-defined channel. I didn't this past weekend, but there are times in which I want to fish the flat right along the edge of the channel.

Here is the Navionics app

navionics does have harris on it, i looked at jordan limits shots and thought to myself, huh his sure looks different than mine, i think its what you are used to, i like mine. i have heard nothing but good things thought about the lakemaster cards though.

I have lakemaster and the detail is unbelievable. If you want all three lakes you will have to buy both. Lakemaster will sale you individual lakes. I only fish norman and that is the only lake I bought.

What Hummingbird unit are you running? Like mentioned above the Navionics Web App shows all current mapping that would be available on cards. When on the WebApp you need to click on the Sonar Icon on the lower left corner for the High Def SonarChart layer. There can be some huge differences between Nautical and SonarChart layer.

I attached some screen shots of the lakes I believe you are looking at both SonarCharts and Nautical Chart. So depending what Humminbird sonar you running if you can SonarChart layer

Get Navionics+ Preloaded your sonar can view SonarChart and Nautical Chart. You just need to select SonarChart or Fish n' Chip as its called in the sonar.
Navionics + preloaded comes loaded with Nautical Charts for the entire US and Canada then you download the SonarChart layer for the areas you fish.

You also can refresh the card for the first year with new data in case Navionics does any map updates. You have a year to load SonarChart data and Freshest Data then after a year it costs 99.00 to resubscribe or just keep using the card as it is with data you downloaded to it.

I have Nav + and I was wondering. When the subscription runs out you do not get the new community updates and such. Can you still get sonar logs processed and downloaded? I forgot to try that before I paid again.

You can still load sonar logs which become part of the SonarCharts layer. But no, when your subscription runs out you can no longer do a Freshest Update that includes the processed sonar logs or SonarChart layer.
