With all the chips out there (all the different navionics, lakemasters etc...) what do you consider to be the best chip? (eg... details)
I just purchased a HDS-5 and fish the great lakes.

Thanks for your thoughts

I like lakmaster Michigan.  $100 for the greatlakes and a ton of inland lakes.  The lakemaster site doesn't say anything about the new HD units but lowrance told me it should work with the HD-7 I am getting.  I just wish the chip had as much info as the software does, their map of St. Clair is way better on the software version.

Lakemaster for sure.

I run a Lakemaster at the Bow and a Navionics at the console.....I like them both, The lakemaster has more detail on certain lakes...(burt and mullet, Saginaw bay, etc etc)

Lakemasters hd lakes have a lot more detail than the navionics.  Too bad my lakemaster chip is not compatiable with my humminbird units

Anybody using the HotMaps Platinum? I have the Premium now and it's map of Saint Clair sucks. I have the Lakemaster in my handheld and it is really good, but hard to hold it when driving out there and it won't work in the 'bird. Just wondering if the Platinum has a better map since it would add 3D, etc. for other lakes.

Lakemaster just came out with an 09 chip that has alot more lakes in HD...Go to their site and check it out I think it is lakemap.com..but do a google to make sure...

I will sell you my 08 Lakemaster chip for 50 bucks if you are interested...The 09 has alot of up north lakes that I frequent in HD now.....
