Thanks...I just looked on the Lowrance site and it looks like I am going to end up saving at least $200.00

Thanks a lot !

I am very impressed with these units. Only downfall is how slow the refresh rate is with the maps. It is SLOOOOOOWWWWWW. I have only used a unit with insight so if others state that the unit without insight is faster. go that way.

if the printing market would pick up I would love to add a HDS 7 with structure scan just for a fishfinder and keep my garmin for radar and chart plotter

I ordered the Navionics Platnium Plus Bay map...The boat should be in the water sometime in the next couple of weeks....(Depends on how lazy I am to give it spring cleaning, work, and of course the temps...)...

Will let ya know....

I have the same chip; I don't think it is slow, but I don't have anything to compare it to. My old Black/White x65 didn't have any mapping.
My hds7 does so much, I only use a few of it's capabilities. I would like to add the downscan/sidescan though.

Sorry the post doesn't say very much, I just had a need to use some icons.
