lowrance sounder with navionics card?

hi guys
i was looking at getting a lowrance LMS-525C combo sounder with a navionics gold xl9 card for my dinghy. iam not sure what the map looks like with the card installed. if anyone has this set up are you happy with it? is the map clear and show all the depths? if ya have a pic of the map that would be great to. thanx people

I have a Lowrance 4000m chartplotter with the maps your talking about. They are fine and show all that you need to see inc contour lines, markers, reefs ect. Cant go wrong. Thats not a bad unit and i think its the same sounder software as my lowrance x515cdf sounder. You should have no probs finding all the fish.
