Just got a new boat that came with a Helix 5. What are yall using for the navigation card since the LA One is not compatible?

Any experience with this one I found on amazon? LINK

I have 2 lakemaster maps which are so so, but I run a navionics card in my Helix, much better maps for what I need. North La. Lakemaster is good on bigger more popular lakes, but my navionics is better for the smaller less known lakes.

I use navionics platinum plus but I don't know if you can use all the features on a Helix 5, I have a Solix 10.

I have a lake master Louisiana delta card in my Helix 9 and It gets the job done.

EDIT: I didn't realize that Navionics cards work with humminbird. I'd be interested to see some satellite pics if that is a feature and someone is willing to post some screen shots.

You can view all of navionics maps here: LINK . You might have to go to "Map Options" and click satellite.

OP, only downside to Navionics on Helix is that they are not compatible with the community edits if that is important to you, although Lakemaster doesn't have that anyway.

I have two helix 10's and I have this card. It works great for everything south of I-10. Satellite view.

So I got the Navionics card and I realized dock to dock guidance isn't supported by the helix 5 I have. What other benefits does this card have outside of the standard GPS that comes with the hummingbird? This is my first time with a boat that has a GPS
