What are the best options for lake cards on a hb 598 ci hdsi? I am mainly fishing the Midwest, particularly in, Il, MI, Oh. I ask because there seems to be so many options but I dont know if some programs might bog down the unit.

You should look at the LakeMaster and Navionics web sites and see which offers a mapping card that covers the most lakes.
The 598ci HD Si should work with all of the LakeMaster cards and Navionics has a chart somewhere on their web site that shows which mapping cards they make will work with the 598ci HD Si unit.
Thanks Hb Greg. It appears Navionics might have the best selection of lakes, but what do they sacrifice? Just curious what others were using for chips.
The bass guys generally prefer the Lakemaster....they say it has better detail...(but they don't cover as many lakes)..Quote:

Look in your operations manual at pages 153 through 155. It lists some LakeMaster only menu options that will only work with the Humminbird-LakeMaster mapping cards.
LakeMaster does not have the lake coverage that Navionics has.
Navionics does have the updateable mapping cards (check their web site for details).
