Default Charts for my GPS

Looking to get a nice chart card for my gps unit for both navigation and fishing and got the new Nav+ Regions card. It is region specific but covers all the states and areas that I needed, so I was able to save a little money and am very happy. It also came pre-loaded with both my navigational and sonar charts. Perfect! Easy for a guy that likes SIMPLE! Great charts and I also saw where all border waters on the regional charts are fully covered. No need for me to feel ripped off and having to buy another card to get full coverage of a specific lake. These cards must be selling well, as I had to visit a second BPS to find one in stock. Anyone running these cards in LA?

I am in the market for my first card and am hoping others chime in here. It's kinda confusing on which card to commit to.
I only need it for a few lakes/ rivers (Toledo Bend, Sabine River, Calcasieu River) in Louisiana.

Yes, the nav+ regions south would be the perfect fit your you. That would be an easy choice for me.

I looked at the list of Lakemaster maps and at the Navionics list.
The Lakemaster list is kind of vague, no?

To each his own. For me it's my Navionics charts. I've always trusted and relied on them and haven't been let down. Stick with what works. Just though I would pass along the good fortune I have had with the new regions chart card. Tight lines guys!

https://www.amazon.com/Navionics-Hot...+platinum+plus

Navionics Platinum Plus is what I run (Lowrance) . The 3D view with shading can really help out being able to read contours. I've actually found quite a few new spots in areas I've fished for years that I didn't pick up on a standard 2d contour map. Not sure if the regions have that capability? T-Boo if you have Humminbird Lake Master might be your best bet though.

Lakemaster has HD mapping on Toledo and Rayburn, and what do you mean by vague T-boo? I don't know of any map cards that have contours for the rivers but Lakemaster South does show cuts off the river that I was surprised it showed.
