Default best maps for lowrance?

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.

nobody running lowrance? find that hard to believe
just to be clear... not looking for wreck numbers etc, just want to know which depth charts are most accurate

i ran nautic path on my lowrance units on the Sea pro,
make sure you have it on the correct user settings,
there are 2 settings that show channel markers , one of them has little detail almost like a car type gps, the second setting has as much or more detail for the areas you said you will be fishing .
the only spot i found the navionics to have more detail was around the shrewsberry rocks
