navionics chip for Florida (southern states)

The Navionics chip I have for SC, unfortunately does not go south of us.I am taking my boat to Florida this year and wondered if anyone had an old chip they might want to sell. This is a one time deal for me so I don't want to pay $100 plus dollars for one that I may only use once.(If you want to loan one out, I could handle that too, LOL)
I have an HDS7 touch and a Helix5 so I think most any of the older ones would work.
Let me know what you have.
Thanks

PS (or any chip that would have Okeechobee and the Everglades on it.)

You can get the Navionics USA or Boating app and have the very latest contour data available for the entire USA on a smartphone or tablet ...

And there is also HB Chart Select where you can buy only the lake you want ...

Your HELIX 5 is compatible with Chart Select ...(if it's one of the HELIX GPS models) ...

Well I did not know that was available. Okeechobee is shown, but I don't see anything that would cover the Everglades area. Is this a lake specific item so you purchase just the lakes you need? Also, do you leave the SD card in the DF like you do with a Navionics chip or does it down load to the DF? From a cursory read, I think it reads off the chip so you put it in when you are on that specific lake or lakes depending on how many you loaded on the SD card. Correct?/
Thanks for the heads up. This stuff changes so rapidly I have trouble keeping up.

What Navionics Card to have now? Premium or Platinum?

My boat is not here at my house, but the chips are not the most expensive ones. I think one is the premium and for some reason I think the older one is a "gold" version.

Chart Select is 1 lake per SD Card (each lake purchased separately) ...

That single SD Card then becomes a LakeMaster map card (but with only 1 lake on the SD Card) ...

That same SD Card must be in the unit to view the data on the unit Chart view ...because the unit reads the map data directly from the SD Card ...

HB can most likely email you some pics of the area you are interested in ...to see if that area has the detail you need ...

Thanks Rickie,
If I don't run across a chip card I will buy the Okeechobee lake map and not worry about the glades. We don't usually go far from the ramp to find Oscars anyway.

If its a gold to premium you can get an use Navionics Updates to upgrade these cards to Navionics+. Its 99.00 you download the SonarCharts layer to the areas you fish, it covers all of US and Canada so you will only need one card.
