Sold my 797 with a Navionics in it - usually showed me on shore going down the Muskegon Lake channel out to Lake Mi.
I have a Lakemaster in my 998 and in my 899 - thinking about a 3rd for my 798 .... :highfive
Make sure the maps you want are on the list!

Lakemaster has more features for Humminbird if the areas you are looking at are HD mapped.......I think recent surveys were done for Kentucky and Barkley lakes.
Ky and Barkley are the only lakes I am really interested in. Overall do you like the lake master?
Would have gotten the new LakeMasters South card if they had gotten Grenada and Enid on it this past year, they are here mapping now and will have one in the spring when it comes out. Navionics SUX in our neck of the woods as far as backwaters, like they mapped the lake at 203 or so and summer pool is at 215!!
In northeast Ohio the Lakemaster maps are way more accurate than the Navionics. Cannot speak about other areas but in my neck of the woods its Lakemaster for accuracy.
I have the new Lakemaster Southeast version2 ...which now includes Barkley Lake...
I have found it more accurate than the Navionics in some areas of Kentucky and Barkley lake...
Other areas I find the Navionics more accurate...
I keep both....what's another $100 in this hobby...??

I use the midwest and LOTW lakemaster maps and have been very pleased. They are in my HB 899.
Just tried out my new LakeMaster card today. Im using it on a 998 It has a lot of great features and maps are accurate and detailed.
IMO there is no comparison between the Navionics and LakeMaster. The detail and options of the LakeMaster on my 898 make it a joy to use. My Navionics Premium has cost me enough crankbaits just in Blood River on KY Lake alone to pay for a new LakeMaster card.
I have a Lake Master TX/OK in my 998. Love the lake water level adjustment. Accuracy when adjusted off normal elevation pretty good. The only thing I don't like is the break lines get very coarse (not smooth) at anything below 200ft. They may have improved this in the later versions. As stated before you well be happier if your lake is in HD.
