Which card is the best for coastal an inland waters for a lowrance elite unit
Just bought one myself that I haven’t installed. Did it come with any type of base map?
Yes it has a base map. Looking for more detail
I use Navionics platinum on My Lowrance HDS Gen 2 and it is great, very detailed.

Depends on your price point.
Cheapest is Navionics+ found on sale @99, regularly $199. IMHO, detail & accuracy sucks, but it has enough info to get you by.
Insight V16 BY LOWRANCE is $99, accuracy sucks, some buoys not shown & they ere installed 7 years ago.
The newest mapping is Jepsen C-Map for Lowrance unit. Lowrance finally partnered with mapping company that knows what it is doing. C-Map map cartidiges are $150 but very detailed & accurate. Limited areas right now as the mapping is being produced.
Florida Marine Tracks is supposed to come to SC area - if you can wait, that’s the one to buy. Detailed backbay areas & aerial photographt overlays & nautical chart.
Rember, the waters, shoals change over time, depends what you want the navigation to do.
