I tried the 2008 Navionics Premium chart last year and was disappointed with it. I found that markers were missing at the south end of Meredith Neck near Bear Island. It also showed that the boat lane was right next to the mainland and had you passing inside (west of) the black blinker at the southern tip of the Neck. Based on my test I decided to not use it. I figured if there were problems where I know the lake I wasn't about to use it where I'm not as familiar . Hopefully the 2009 edition has been updated. The funny thing about Navionics is that I received their low end Handheld edition with my gps and every marker I've checked is right where it was supposed to be. You'd think their high end charts would be at least as accurate.
