What GPS
 

Getting a new gps and looking at the Lowrance elite5 hdi with down imaging, whats everyones take on it that has it and what other ones is everyone using....tia

Hummingbird bro.

Garmin 740 is the ****z....i love mine....

Lowrance HDS but Garmin is the most reliable and user friendly....their depthfinder isn't the best but if you fish mostly salt I don't see the need in down scan.

Keep em comin

you getting a new boat to go with that gps? I saw you sold your old one...

I like the lowrance HDS. Im probably about to go with a 7 or an 8. Im not gonna add structure scan right away, but I like that you can. Garmin is a good unit though. I have no experience with hummingbird

I like the lowrance models, but raymarine has a new one out with sonar and it looks promising, very very detailed images from everything I've looked at online. I believe its around 600$

U saw my hds 7 touch /structure scan, and what it can do!!! :cool:

If you are looking the elite with down imaging look at raymarine dragonfly. You will be impressed

Elite 5, for the price you can't complain. Seems like they are always on sale somewhere.

That's the one!

Always had Lowrance in the past, but just switched to the Garmin 740s. The Garmin is just so much more user friendly, and it is overall less of a hassle (putting in waypoints, navigating screens, etc.). Everyone says the Lowrance has better imaging, but how much imaging are you using in Big Lake where everything is like 5 feet deep. If you are going offshore, then I think the depth finder/imaging becomes more important.

I have garmin 541s and I'm happy with it. The maps aren't very accurate, often times I find myself traveling over land haha. Id really like to have one of the lowrance hds units or the elite 7hdi so I could run the standard mapping ecard. That thing is awsome!

Dude just get an HDS 7 without touch. They are sale everywhere and you already know it since you had an HDS 5

Elite 5 dsi will be on sale at west marine for $299 Monday only. That's hard to beat.

Exactly my name is on one now he put it yesterday lol....they only had three left...

So, what boat you getting?
