Need more info... Where do you boat? What are you using it for? (navigation, fishing, both?) What boat is it going on?

The Garmin 95 is an OEM release.
You should be looking at an Echomap series 93XX or 94XX depending on location

The 93 series has “lake” maps the 94 series is tidal water.
SV is side view
DV is down view
CV is compromised close out

It is.... but the 95 is an OEM (base) release. Not marketed in the US. Sold in Canada with the optional Canadian lake Vu software installed.

You could buy a Canadian lake Vu chip and install on any unit

Thanks I do live in Canada so the 95 with preloaded Canadian lakes and rivers should do the trick 👍
