Navionics Platinum

My lowrance in the Triton doesnt have as much detail as my garmin did. Will this chip give me better detail of the marsh? If not do the new HDS units have better detail of the marsh? I thought about just installing the garmin in the new boat but that is alot of trouble... Somebody

The Navionics chip is going to give you more detail than most, if not all of the base maps of any brand GPS unit you buy (I can't speak for the HDS series though bc I haven't gotten to play around with one too much yet). Some units are more capable than others and provide more detail when used in conjunction with the chip. I haven't been on the water with any Google Earth maps, but that sounds pretty cool. I have been very pleased with the accuracy of the Navionics chip in my 786ci though.
