Thread: Lowrance and Maps

I bought a Garmin Echomap 53cv yesterday. I compared it to the Lowrance and Humminbird for hours. The Elite ti was a little more than I wanted to spend and decided to go with the Garmin since the included maps are better. But from what I was told at Bass pro, the Lowrance Elite has better options for mapping if you want to spend the extra money. For where I fish, the Garmin LakeVu maps will be good enough. I also have the option to buy the Louisiana Bayou card which covers most everything south of I-10 and can be overlaid with satellite images. I think you'll be happy with the Lowrance once you buy the maps. Google Navionics.

I saw no options for the inland lakes in Louisiana outside of TB.
