Mapping cards are deceptively not-accurate. Don’t rely on them. Ever. Please see my collection of busted lower units if you’re not sure. Anyone telling you otherwise is either lying or incredibly misinformed and don’t realize what they don’t know that they do not know.
Save yourself a few hundred bucks and just get an old, cheap mapping card and then lean heavily on your navigational homework using GED. Lakemaster, Standard Mapping, whatever, they’ll all equally fck you if you rely on them.
Have you priced lower units lately?
After that, I like Lowrance because it’s easy to load .usr files into them. HumminbirdPC is a giant PITA. It’s great if you’ve got the PC and got it working, but that’s too much BS for what you want. Lowrance/SIMRAD drag and drop .USR is the way to go.
My Garmin won’t display entire tracks and I’m tried of troubleshooting it. Just go Lowrance.
