Default Lowrance FreedomMaps for the X-16

Hello,

When viewing eastern Lake Ontario and western St.Lawrence river using
Lowrance's Map Create 5 programming in my laptop, the Canadian waters
points of interest, small islands and their coastline side of the
lake/river is "not there" when viewing in the upclose and "usable"
boating magnification setting.

Of course, when I zoom out, (magnification setting 46.0 or greater), I
see the Canadian waterways points of interest, coastline etc.., but in
such a miniature detail that would be unsafe during boating.

My preowned boat came equiped with the Lowrance lcX-16ci unit and Map
Create 5 cd rom software and cables. My only area of boating operation
will be from eastern Lake Ontario to west of Montreal on the
St.Lawrence River, generally in US waters.

My question(s) are...
1) Does the newer Map Create 6 address and correct this country border
magnification conflicts?
2) What if I purchase the new FreedomMaps F-15 card
http://www.lowrance.com/Mapping/Free...images/f15.gif will the
Canadian side resolution be usable, or will I be buying something I've
already got (with Map Create 5) ??
3) Lastly, since the X-16 can hold 2 cards, what if I purchase both
the Canadian F-30 card
http://www.lowrance.com/Mapping/Free...images/f30.gif and the US
F-15 card, although they overlap, will I have a seamless transistion
while boating with GPS in a usable upclose magnification?

Thanks, Brett Slack
