I bought one. I had a choice between one with a gold Navionics or the insight pro card for $399. I went with the insight pro since I already own Navionics gold.

I've heard Navionics is more detailed and a bit better for navigation vs the insight.   What's the better option here?  I plan to purchase the Elite 5 sometime this week.  Can't pass up on this deal!

Just saw that West Marine has the Elite 5 CHIRP Gold Package with 83/200 HDI (83/200/455/800)Transducer for $399.99 PLUS you still get the current Promo in-play which gets you an Insight Chip as well!

Catch it while you can!

also, think you can get them to fix the rebate form? If I check one of those boxes, what exactly am I getting?  Do you see it?

Elite 7 CHIRP VGA 16bit TFT 800 x 480
Elite 5 CHIRP VGA 256 TFT 480 x 480
HDS 7 Gen3 WVGA TFT LCD 800 x 480
HDS 7 Gen2 WVGA TFT LCD 800 x 480    Most likely the best deal while there is very limited stock of these still out there.

DOH!   :smt044  Looks like they got a bad copy.  I'll get a call in on the W.M. one and Bass Pro one.  Good catch!

I'm about to send my rebate out for the free Lake Insight Pro or Nautic Insight Pro map chip. Can you shed some light on which one to get?

I mainly fish Lake around Fresno. Might venture out to the ocean once I get comfortable or go with someone experienced. Thanks.

I'd say, get the one in the area you fish the most often.
