Hi there,
Have a Lowrance Elite 5 (standard sounder/gps unit). Looking to upgrade to the elite 7 HDI for the increased screen real estate and the downscan ability.
I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts, useful advice or better yet some screenshots showing what sort of detail I can expect versus a standard sounder.
Truth is, I am useless at reading a normal sounder and I prefer to use it to find structure (though I can never really tell what I'm actually looking at) rather than actual fish. That said, the overlay feature I'm reading about sounds like the best of both worlds.
Any way, all help very much appreciated.
Thanks
ps: I currently run dual sounders. My other is an older lowrance black and white, which was fairly high end in its day and I tend to prefer it over the Elite 5.
