Question on G2 Vision Card

[dburne]

Newb question alert!

So I am looking to order the G2 Vision sd card, for my Garmin 531s, which I have yet to install. I figure with the 200 dollar rebate offer, a no brainer. I assume it will be much higher detailed than the maps included with the 531s?
I live in TN, and we will be boating at area lakes.

I see there is a southeast card for inland rivers, and there is a southeast card for inland lakes that is cheaper.
Which of these should I get? Does the rivers also have details of the area lakes?

Thanks for any tips,

I do not see the rivers chip on the Garmin site, where did you see it? Before you buy the Vision chip you should check the lakes list and see if they have vision coverage on the link below. If they do not have the lakes you want you could make a deal with someone that can use a chip.

Hey gang,
Any other thoughts on this?
The 531s I bought, states it comes with several thousand lake maps already in it. It has been suggestion I get the G2 sd card for better detail?
There is the rivers for my area, that is like 160 bucks or so, then there is another one that states lakes for my area, for like 85 bucks or so. I have searched, and cannot seem to clear up in my mind what I should get.
I believe the 200 dollar rebate only applies to the rivers card listed below. But, will this also include the lakes as well? Obviously the lakes I boat on are fed by the rivers.
Or maybe I should just hold off and stick with what came with the GPS? I have not had time yet to install and try it out to see what it is like. Also, I believe the rebate offer when buying both the GPS and the Vision card expires on Friday.
Any thoughts from anyone that has these would sure be appreciated!

Thanks,
