It will give you extreme underwater detail of lakes that they have surveyed. but there is nothing for us up here.
I've got that topo map for my Lowrance (FreedomMaps), and it's definitely better than the map that comes with them, but I wouldn't call it the "exact" shoreline by any stretch lol.

Our bathymetry maps in western Canada are a joke (when they're even available, which is practically never) compared to the detail they have in the USA or southern Ontario. It's really frustrating to see the amazing maps they have to work with and not being able to get anything even remotely close up here.
