It appears that the lakemaster for lowrance has been discontinued. I did like that one better for certain uses, but as far as LSC and the other HD lakes goes there isn't much difference. The random old maps that were not HD were quite different, and it is hit ormiss which chip is better. The nav platinum or whatever they call it for the north is probably your best choice left.
There is a Navionics Hotmaps Premium Michigan-only chip for Humminbird and Lowrance (same SD card apparently readable by both). I just bought it last month at Cabela's for about $90. It's only just OK for Ovid and Thorn; not bad for Anchor Bay, but only has the US side of LSC. Haven't used it anywhere else yet.

Last July, Lakemaster was bought by Johnson Outdoors, which also owns Humminbird. 'Nuff said? [smilie=biggrin.gif]
