Where to buy a decent priced Navionics card for HDS 5

Gday all, just posting this up to see if anyone has bought a Navionics Card for their Lowrance HDS 5 or Larger HDS unit, that was an alright price.

I am interested in the Gold 32XG. This is mainly to be used as a 'backup' or secondary plotter to my Navman i am currently running. Dont want a Silver as i do alont of offshore work, and dont need a platinum as it will only ever be used as a basic plotter/sounder.

Just from what i have seen online it seems prices can vary from Perth retailers being around $350-400 to ebay sellers(Australian) being around $180-200.

So just wondering at that price difference has anyone bought one of ebay/online sellers?, Does it work all good? and what seller/company did you get it off?

 

Or alternativley if anyone has one they are wanting to sell let me know  :-)

 

Cheers, Buz.

Thanks, Buz.

I just got a platnum card from allboats for $499, they were cheapest I could find around perth s so I would think they would be pretty close with the gold too
