While LakeMaster has some unique features, the TX/OK electronic charts leave a lot to be desired on my lake, the map of my lake is far far behind Navionics charts.  The chart contours are about the same. but LakeMaster does not show treed areas nor old roads under the water.  My lake varies 10 feet in depth often moving a foot or more in a month.  I like that you can adjust for it, but that is not enough  of a trade off for missing the structure, maybe in a few years after they get the U.S. covered they will redo everything to show more structure. 

Their Contour Elite is even worse, my contour elite lake computer map is not as good as Humminbird Chart, you would think they would at least be the same as their their navigation maps.  Their underwater 3D map looks great, you can not locate the area for a waypoint without a lot of difficulty rendering it useless.  Again Navionics' Fugawi Hotmaps Explorer has a lot more detail on my lake and only cost $20 versus $150.

Now this is my opinion, I would hope and believe that the original chart up north should be much better and probably give Navionics a run for the money.

I applaud the competition I hope that LakeMaster, improves their maps, I will probably try an upgrade at some point in hopes that the cartography gets better.
