LakeMaster vs Navionics vs ect.

I have the Lake master Southeast. version 4 it is good but is still missing a lot of the lakes that i like to fish. The new version 5 has many of those lakes but I haven’t wanted to spend the money for it.

I’ve had both.  Lakemaster in hummingbirds,  Navionics in my Lowrance.  I liked the detail of the LM maps.  For example, they covered Lay lake from Logan Martin dam to Lay dam.  Main creeks and sloughs as well.  Navionics stops about ½ way up the lake toward Logan Martin dam, and many side creeks have no contour lines at all.  Don’t really need ’em to “run the river” but they certainly help when looking for odd bottom structure to fish.

I just sold all my Navionics Platinum South cards to buy Lakemaster Plus cards for my Humminbirds.   Up until this boat, I have always used Lowrance and Navionics.  With the ‘Birds  though, I prefer Lakemaster Plus as long as your main lakes are in HD.  The latest SE version has a lot of new HD lakes in AL and GA.

The lake level offset, and many other Humminbird tools only work with Lakemaster.

After all of the reading I have done I was leaning toward the LM mapping. I also believe I and going to go with the SmartStrike just because this will be all new water for me. I appreciate the info and the replies. I can’t wait to get down there and check it all out!
