Humminbird Helix 5

Does anyone have a suggestion on the best maps card for our area? All I need is a detailed map of the creeks and rivers.

I have a Hummingbird and bought the Navtronic Platium+ East. Works pretty good. Should run you between 150-200 bucks

You have to look on the box or HB site. The Helix5 has a couple options. The std loaded coastal maps are pretty good - lakes not so much if you want detail. I was going after a set for lakes and found it had all in SC but, Santee Lakes and Wateree. The two places I go most. I want to say is was a different brand than Navtronics - LakeMaster or something close.

Does the Navtronics card have all the lakes in SC? I need one myself.

You have to have a different card for the lakes. The dividing line for East & South is the SC / GA line.

Looked up the Platinum+, seems to be exactly what I need. Just sucks you have to buy two cards for coastal and lakes.

This is probably a stupid question, but here goes…I have never used any of the cards with my finders…what do you get with the cards ? Is it just the depth contour lines ?

Depth & contour lines with nav details - markers - wrecks - hazards etc…
