Need a card for new raymarine a5.6 and a card for a garmin 172c. Any recommendations?

thanks, roughrider out.

Take a look at the Navionics Fish'n Chip for the Great Lakes. It has a ton of detail and should work with your Raymarine.

They don't seen to list the fish'n chip on their web site anymore. Has their products changed?

I've got a Garmin 172C and it's a great unit, unfortunately it's older and kind of obsolete and Garmin no longer makes new chips for them. The one I have is the Lake Ontario Chip and covers the entirety of lake Ontario from Montreal west and also includes lake Erie all the way to long point on the Canadian side (basically the entire eastern basin).

They may be moving away from it. I bought mine from West Marine (link below). Like I said, it has great detail and I've had great success on Lake Ontario with the 1' contours. Billy V was the charter boat captain that recommended it on his blog in Feb 2011, and he included pictures (link below). Bill has provided a lot of great info on electronics... I now have a Humminbird 957c and Airmar B60 thru-hull transducer because of his recommendations and love them both!
