True both take a chip. I looked at both on my local make and they were about the same. I just liked the customization on the Lowerance. Especially on the GPS and how it lays a trail I can follow back or save a a route, which I think the helix does also.Clint KY said:huntinfool said:I liked that I could add a chip to my unit too.
A point to remember - the Helix 5 will also take a map chip. My research shows that the Lake Master chip is FAR superior to the Navionics chip, at least around here. Much more detail and the unit will do much more with the LM as far as alarms and color changes (i.e. - You can change the color of all water from 10 to 15 feet deep a certain color if you want to highlight that depth).
And a warning - there are vendors that still have Version 2 Micro SD LM (the Helix takes a Micro SD) and are selling them for the same price as the Version 3.
