If you talking Navionics then a platinum plus card for Van Isle or less expensive the new Navionics Plus card that you can download any charts in North America for 1 year, includes all the detailed new sonar charts and $100 less then the platinum plus. Can get them both at Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo or Sherwood Marine in Victoria.

Interesting indeed. I have one for my elite unit and i need one for the hds. Both are not wired yet so i guess i had better get busy. I found an elite gold card from a elite gold bundle for $60 so if it wotks im going to snag it up.

Some of the older Navionics gold cards from the Elite units work in HDS, the newest ones do not. Only way to know for sure is to try it.

Ok so since trying the Gold bundle card I have not been impressed at all with the amount of detail available. In fact my old garmin charts had waaaay more detail and contour lines. Which card should I be looking to get if I want up to 2ft contour detail? I also found a MSD/13XG-3 on ebay... Anyone from experience get good detail with this chip?

Go to the Navioncs website and look at the options for getting access to the new Sonar Charts level of detail, way more detail then the standard mapping in Gold and Platinum plus cards.

http://www.navionics.com/en/navionics-plus I got my Navionics Plus card at Sherwood Marine for $200. Now I can get access to the Sonar Charts level of detail. A new Platinum Plus card will give you access to this as well, but is twice the cost.
