Has anyone tried the new Navionics premium map for Lac Seul and is it worth the $150 investment?

I bought one and havent used it. People say it is the way to go, but don't solely depend on it for navigation. I have looked at it on my GPS and compared to what I had in the past at Lac Seul, i.e., a blank screen with a line, it is well worth the $150.
i bought it last april and fished lac seul in may and june. went from deception landing just east of sioux lookout all the way up to chamberlin narrows (about 40 miles) i'm not sure i would have found my way there or back with out it. coming home is easy because you have a track to follow but we were pleasently surprised when we were on our way to chamberlin and found trails already permantly burned to all of the best fishing spots on seul. it was a no brainer and the detail is incredible marking most reefs and even every bouy that is in the water is on the map. all monuments,lights,islands,bays,points and lakes that have names are marked.best $150 i ever spent. i was so impressed i bought the one for wisconsin,minn,dakotas etc. when i got home from my june trip.

I agree with scar. Launched out of hudson. Had paths to follow to get where we wanted to go. Buoys marked and the path made it easy to get back to launch. Takes the worry out of getting lost and lets you focus on enjoying the lake. Well worth it, plus it allows you to explore other lakes in the region if you so choose. Best of luck.
