I have an Eagle FishElite 480 and am thinking of purchasing the Navionics HotMaps premium 2007. I'm looking for opinions on it from those that are using it on local waters. I see Lucky Peak, Arrowrock, and Anderson ranch on it, but noticed it is missing Brownlee. I noticed the only high detail map for Idaho is Coeur D'Alene Lake. Does it provided enough details for the others to justify it's cost?

I have the 2007 hotmaps in my GPS. It is o.k. for some lakes, not that great for others. On my home lake, Jackson lake, the contours are in 40' intervals, like standard USGS maps. Not that great for fishing.It really helps on lakes you have never been to before. We went to Lake Powell 2 years ago and it was great to know where we were on a lake that big. So is it worth it?? If you fish a bunch of different lakes sure, but for only 1 or 2 lakes I wouldnt do it.
