Eagle Cuda vs Humminbird---GPS basemaps??

I'm looking at a FF/GPS combo unit, either an Eagle Cuda or Humminbird. Both claim they come loaded with "detailed maps".

I have a handheld Garmin (76C), and found that the basemap was inadequate for navigating...I had to get the Bluechart map disk.

Has anyone used either the Eagle or Humminbird (`Unimap') systems---are they good enough to work with, without additional cost map upgrades?

Steve,

It al depends on how much detail you want. Both systems offer a somewhat better shoreline that your GPSMAP76 as well as navaids. However, if you are looking for the best shoreline detail, additional info like wrecks & obstructions, and marina info, then you may need to consider buying additional maps or buying a unit with the detailed mapping built-in.
