Never heard of cmap but will have a squiz
But navionics is very good and user friendly imo but that's not to say cmap isn't better.

Re: Navionics vs cmap
This is a good question, as Garmin purchased navionics around 12months ago I believe, which is why cmap has become a lot more popular. Navionics is still ahead of cmap I believe, but the more people that use cmap, the better it can become.
My thoughts anyway.

Re: Navionics vs cmap
I have installed both many times over the years. Not much in it really. They tend to leapfrog each other as each improves their product.
There's nothing . . . absolutely nothing . . . half so much worth doing as simply messing around in boats.

Re: Navionics vs cmap
The word with a lot of offshore game skippers is that cmaps is much more accurate with their contour lines/depths.
I use cmaps and it's spot on.

Re: Navionics vs cmap
since garmin has purchase navionics, all new lowrance units are coming equipped with cmap already installed (on most good models anyway) so i think its only a matter of time before it gets on par with navionics who used to be top dog
