Inland lakes cartography - The Hull Truth

Trying to decide between C-Map, Navionics and Garmin. Whose system is the best for inland lakes?

I can tell you the Cmap Inland Lakes chart in my Furuno Max VX2 works well here on Lake Coeur d Alene. Don't have any experience with the others.

I have the Garmin software (Inland Lakes and fishing hotspots). So far it's worked well at a local lake (Lanier) and also on the Tennessee River. Good detail and seems accurate.

Navionics has hot maps that has every lake in the country. I have a lowrance unit and i am very happy with it!!

I use Garmin's Mapsource Fishing Hot Spots. Excellent!

From the comments, it appears that all current systems are satisfactory--and C Map's new "MaxLakes" is being rolled out also.

Stretch,
The new Hot Maps Premium from Navionics is very good. A bunch of inland lakes have been resurveyed in the past year or two and you will see some major enhancements very soon from Navionics is what I'm told.
