You shouldn't have to, you already paid for "Nautic Insight Mapping" which should give comprehensive cartography coverage of La Jolla and the entire coast and offshore.

I hate to say it but he gave you bad information, its typical though so don't feel too bad.
It was a brush off answer, but if you feel like spending $200+ for a chip give it a try and see what happens. (Although I already know the answer)

Since Hobie now seems to be in Bed with Lowrance
maybe they should be brought into the loop? I'm sure a company like Hobie would not be happy to hear that the product they have chosen to base some of their designs on have flaws.

I recently bought the Hds 5 Gen2 w/ Nautic insight for my new PA
I really did not buy it so I could see the contour lines, that's just not how I use my sonar for the most part.

But I agree, it is bad business to not deliver what your specs say you are plainly going to deliver.

Well I went to WM yesterday to check out the Lowrance HDS 5 Gen2 w/ Nautic Insight on sale for $499 only to see that Lowrance still hasn't added the cartography for La Jolla. Looks like they were not really serious about fixing the problem. More of the newer units seem to be offered with Navionics Gold instead.
