[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5576695, member: 220"] Humminbird Lakemaster maps are the best for TVA lakes IMO. Being able to do the lake level offset is big for wintertime fishing due to winter draw downs. Garmin maps require the Vision+ card or maps to be able to do a lake offset, which is more like a yearly subscription. I had a Garmin 106 with GT56 transducer and currently have a Solix 10 with Mega SI & DI. I think to match the current Humminbird Mega imaging, you have to step up into the GPSMap models over the EchoMap Ultras. Those are more comparable. For the $ it's hard to beat the EchoMap Ultras...even if they have the GT54 instead of 56. Transducer install is everything. I thought my Solix was junk until I started tinkering with Transducer angles and such...its taken me months to get it how I want it, whereas I mostly just threw the Garmin on and leveled it with the waterline on my hull and had good images out of the box.
