Okay, that makes sense, but just to make sure I understand what you are saying, I now have the so called Navionics Gold (which is not the real Gold card cuz I got it as a promotional deal when I bought my Elite and I have since found out that it is different from the the real Gold card). So, if I buy the SM card, I would replace my "Gold" card with the SM card until I'm out of the area that is covered with that particular SM card?
Thanks for your help Steve.
Oh, by the way, speaking of chips: I have seen/heard of a chip that purports to mark all the reefs South of Marsh Island, i.e. T-Butte, Diamond, Shell Keys, etc. and allows you to run on plank without being fearful of running up on a reef. Supposedly costs $500 and is only compatible for Garmin GPS. Any confirmation of that?
