We have had several anglers competing in the Berkley B1 asking about what Navionics chart is best for Lake St Francis. Here are some screen shots from the various charts that cover this area.

If you have a Humminbird 900 series or up or a Lowrance HDS unit, the Platinum are a great choice because they have the ability to overlay satellite photos which, in shallow water, can reveal shoals and other underwater objects as seen in the photos above.

For any other unit that uses Navionics charts the Gold 2XG would be the best choice. This chart is one of the most popular we sell at Radioworld because of its expansive coverage area and excellent chart quality.

Another thing to remember is that charts cannot be transferred over the NMEA2000 or Ethernet networks. If you have 2 units on your boat you will need 2 Navionics charts.

If you plan to fish the Berkley B1 drop by Radioworld for a demo of the Navionics charts and we will help you select the right one for your needs.
