Ok well you can definitely do what you are thinking about but you have to realize that once your maps are transfered over to the zero lines card you will not be able to see them unless that card is installed. You will be able to record up to 8 hours of maps on the internal memory before you start overwriting some on the internal memory. Once a zero lines card is installed it automatically takes all that data and puts it on that card and erases it from the internal memory.
So with the navionics card installed at most you will only be able to see the last 8 hours of recorded data on the map at the same time. You can view this recorded data over the top of the navionics or lakemaster data and you can adjust transparency ect.
As far as the SI goes it is really up to you and how you fish and what kind of water you fish. I don't use it a whole lot on mine because my lakes drop off so fast that it can barely read anything on the downhill side and on the uphill side it is so close to the boat it really isn't that useful either. Now this is just because my lakes go from the shore line to 150ft in about 60 yards or so but that isn't the case everywhere. I had my boat on Henry's Lake in Idaho last year fishing for trout and used the SI the entire time. That lake has a max depth of about 30ft so what you are seeing on the 2D sonar and the DI is a very narrow picture of what is underneath you where the SI was showing fish 100ft to either side of the boat. Once I marked them I just scrolled the courser over to them and dropped a waypoint on them and then when I turned around to make another pass I could go right by where that fish was and that put a lot of fish in the boat for me. So I guess it has its place it just depends on what kind of water you are fishing and how you like to fish.
Glad I could help
