The chart makers seem to deliberately vague on the issue. I wrote Navionics asking why they do not have a feature comparison chart.
As of yet, no reply. Maybe because I implied that they may make some money making charts if a feature chart were available?
I also asked, "Why buy the "Platinum" series when the "Gold" can be had bundled with a GPS?
My last GPS was used exclusively offshore and even though I bought the C-map chart package, I could only load one when moving out of another charted area. This was intolerable. Add to that the charts I bought were outdated as purchased from the GPS maker.
So I put it to you folks... For U.S lakes and freshwater inland waterways, what chart suite has the best and most up to date data. Bear in mind I do not want to camp out on the internet downloading charts every day, once or twice a year should be sufficient.
Oh, if it's not too much trouble compatibility with known makes / models will help. I will be buying a new GPS, (for a small Jon boat) and depth sounder soon and will buy the best of breed in necessary, size constraints apply... I'm not on a large Sport Fisherman
