You are correct. Shortly after we upgraded to Platinum, they came out with an upgrade to the gold that was better than the platinum and much less expensive. Needless to say we were pretty ticked. We paid a lot of money to get what was supposed to be bigger and better than the gold version, but turned out to be more expensive and less in terms of quality and information. If we had it to do over we would stay with the gold. -Anita (Not quite full-time cruisers, but working on it!)

I __did__ speak with Landfall and, as it turned out, ordered the most recent version of the Gold for my sailing area. We discussed the differences and I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, the major difference was the Platinum was pre-loaded with photo's (anchorage's, harbors, etc..) which I didn't need since I always have the most recent Chartbook on board so that gives me various location and marina information and phone numbers I might want. The other thing steering me towards the Gold is that it appeared to be a much larger coverage area should I decide to wander South at some point with this boat and chartplotter. The Platinum for my area also had a lot of information on offshore fishing areas which I didn't need. Were the photo's the reason you went to Platinum?
