The default setting is usually sufficient for most users. There is not actually a "best" setting. The customer should try out different settings to find the best setting for their use and water/bottom conditions.

The maps that are included with this unit are Insight USA® mapping or Enhanced US basemapping. Insight USA® has expansive coverage of lakes across the continental U.S. The unit does have 2 SD card slots that you could use to load Lowrance's Nautic Insight Mapping or Navionics maps in order to get coastal coverage.
