Navionics charts

I just bought a Globalmap 8200. Need your opinions.....is the price difference worth it to buy the platinum over the gold charts?

I just bought the Platinum! I will give you all some feedback when I use it with some screenshots:D

I am not familiar with the platinum. I have the lake master chip for my lcx-111c.

This chartplotter thing is all new to me. Other then seeing them while on other boats I have no experience with them. Im pretty excited about owning one. So the Lake Master chips cover the great lakes as well?

I went with the Lake Master chip because it had more detail on the inland lakes I often fish. All of the programs are pretty cool it is a matter of buying what you will use. Most GPS plotters come with a pretty basic world wide chart. My handheld Garmin GPS 76 came with nearly all of the harbor markings the next step up came with more detail. The same for my LCX 525DF combo unit it came with a lot of info out of the box so I ran it for a couple weeks before I put the Lake Master chip in it. The unit was pretty good on it's own the chip adds tons of little details and features some I may not ever even use but nice to know they are there.

I guess with the gold or platinum chip you get a free high definition fish N chip. Will be interesting to see how it looks.
