From what I understand about them, the basemap unit is the cheaper one, that you have to have a gps card for it to work right. The insight units have it built in.

I could be wrong, this is what a guy a BPS told me a while ago when they first came out and I was looking at one.

I have an older Eagle unit that will do what you are saying, show me on land when Im clearly on the water. I have go into the map settings and select the correct area I am in. I have a hotmaps card, and for me it is LA/TX I think. If I leave it set on default (Eagle map) the preloaded gps in the unit, if will only give me roads, & outlines of certain lakes/ rivers, but no contour.

Hope this helps.
