More Nav Detail For Garmin 547xs

Hello, I bought the 547 xs last summer. I was hoping for more navigational detail since it claimed to come with marine charts.. Is there a chip or somehting i can add to it to make it more detailed.. Many pints, bays, islands..etc.. are not showing that are clearly labeled on other models of GPS. I am in Alaska. Tim Blake
