You are talking apples and oranges. The standard mapping card is an add on made specifically for Lowrance and Simrad units. It is way more detailed than the mapping you get out of the box and that includes the Navionics.

I had a Garmin with the bluechart g2 and it didn't come close to what you see on the standard mapping cards. When I am in the marsh and driving around on water my unit shows I am on water. Not land like it did a lot of the time with the g2.
