The nauticpath chart has plenty of detail for a conventional chart and was free with your unit. I personally think that you will find the screen too small to usefully take advantage of the 3-D Display, satellite photo views etc. I have a HDS-5 and a HDS-8 would not have gotten one for the HDS-5 if that was my only chartplotter. Having said that, you have to ask yourself if it is really worth it for the HDS-5, given the screen size. I have ordered mine from Bias today - they will order them in but do not stock them in store. So should you go for a platinum now or wait for the new cards? From what I have been told, the new features will be chooky, but not essential and probably of more interest to the cruising yatch types than fishos. Doubtless that will be priced around the old price of the Platinum cards - $650 or thereabouts. Now if you are going to use Navionics, go for the Platinum, as it is now the same price as the gold chart ($385) The reason it has been reduced is that a new card is going to be released shortly to take advantage of the advanced features of the HDS series. Unless you have run this update, you will not be able to use a Navionics chart. You will need a blank formatted SD card to load the update on - the update is 310mb and available from here: I'm interested in the 3D view that the platinum range would offer, has anyone had any experience in comparing the standard "gold" 2D maps VS their 3D platinum cousins?īefore you do anything you need your software to be updated to HDS version 2.0.30.50 which was released on 15 May. Thanks for the help though, i appreciate the offer. At the moment we only have the nauticpath charts that came with the unit, these are "ok" but i was thinking of upgrading to navionics, and as yet i don't have the card or maps.
