I have a WI LakeMaster for my 7 and would be lost without it. Amazingly accurate on the waters I fish.

I have the lakemaster maps in my Helix 10's on my boat and definitely worth it. 1' contours on the larger lakes in my area make it easy to set up on a spot you want. I want to get the Helix 5 or 7 for ice fishing just for the mapping.

Exactly why I got mine. I use the mapping to find spots and the sonar to zero in on exact depths. Amazing tool.

It came pre loaded on my garmin 7

Its pretty nice but  I am use to my navionics.

If you have paid navionics I wouldnt bother buying lakemaster

I also have both. I think that Lakemaster is a bit better for teh lakes that i know/fish. But it is not enough better to justify spending much money on it.

I've always personally used Navionics maps, but have seen a Lakemaster map side by side with the Navionics and it had a lot more definition. I think with the Navionics SonarCharts being upgraded as often as it seems, they are catching up.

Lakemaster has the most detail for this region, as well as the western 1/2 of Ft. Peck, which Navionics does not have
