buying a new fish finder, gps /chart plotter
was looking at the lowrance elite-7 hdi does anyone have one and if so how are they, or is there a better choice.

That's an excellent unit for the money .....
The best fish finder depends on what features you need/want. A couple things that may or may not be on your list allot of guys don't think about ..... - Consider dual card slots for saving way points, easily updating software, exporting recorded data to third part mapping software etc.... - Ethernet capability - to network multiple head units on the boat to share waypoints, data, transducers etc.... - Screen size - if you are running a map, 2 d sonar @ 83hz and maybe a sonar at 400hz (to give you higher def on narrow cone and/or wider coverage) a bigger display is a good feature. - Do you want to control your down rigger off the unit? consider a unit with cannon link - Do you want / need down imaging or side imaging - budget .....? The best fish finder depends on what you need and how you will be using it. |

With the larger screen size and the ability to have both the DSI(450-800Kh) and the Broad band(83-200Kh) on the screen is really nice. The screen can split 3 ways so you can have the chart plotter up there too. |
