The Navionics Platinum has the shaded relief too, also the buoys that are shown on it are very close to their actual location on the lake. I would like to run the insight card beside my Platinum to see if it shows more detail in the back 1/3 of the big bays in KY lake.

Yes, but you have to be zoomed way out. can't remember the distance. It's not bad, but not as good for the $ as the insightHD card. The insight card has usable storage also, so you aren't losing a card slot.
