Hey guys,
Just wondering what people are using for navionics map cards? What's the difference between navionics hotmaps platinum and premium??
Do I just need a Gold version... Currently have a hummingbird 598ci with down and side imaging. Internal gps.

I have the Hotmaps Premium and it works well for all the lakes I fish. The charts are really accurate and show the contour lines. That's all I need. I already can't catch what I see, I don't need more detail. There's some good video's on You Tube the will show you the difference. You may find that your finder might not be able to use some of the features on the more expensive cards. You could call Navionics and they could probably help you.

They all cover different bodies of water. Gold covers navigable waters and hotmaps premium (I think) does in land waters.
The navionices + card covers whatever you want it to. Buy the card and download the bodies of water you want up to the size of the card for up to a year.
If you want more info on that, you would have to ask someone who knows better than I. I have basically told you everything I know.
