got a lowrance chartplotter and it came with a set of base maps that include NJ but they aren't very high detail, so i'm looking at the options for a map chip for it. i'm mostly in raritan bay/sandy hook, sometimes down behind LBI or ocean city. bay and river fishing, i don't go offshore.
i hear a lot of guys run the navionics maps, that the best for NJ? looks like c-map and "nautic insight" are also compatible but haven't seen many local reviews on them.
the "insight genesis" is also interesting (you take a sonar log, it gives you a custom chart), but doesn't seem very useful on the salt since it doesn't include any nav markers, just contours.
