Tom, June 26, 2012
I was disappointed with the lack of performance loading maps, zooming, panning and especially regenerating the screen – very sad to have to wait for the next section of map to show up. I am also very disappointed that there isn’t a Find feature. You can’t sit in your driveway, and check out tomorrow’s fishing hole without a great deal of panning and zooming. Wouldn’t it ever be nice to hit search, use a touch screen to enter your favourite lake and then voila, check out tomorrow’s weed line. No such luck. If you had a lake app on your I-phone you could do it in a flash. Lowrance could do some work on the menus, like maybe and exit on all screens. Today, touch screens, processors and ram are cheap and I would expect this equipment to parallel available technology. You have to push really hard on the keys to select items. The DSI is cool, but in 2 years I have never seen anything other than bottom and possibly bait fish. On the up side, I see bottom very clearly but have to work between the two frequencies a lot depending on depth and clarity. I do not have any issues with seeing depth and bottom if the boat is riding flat side to side right up to my full speed of 35mph. If you are having issues relocate your transducer. I will buy a traditional depth finder for the bow of my boat not a DSI. If I could send a message to Lowrance, hire someone to look at all available technology and incorporate it in your next line of fish finders. Lastly, GPSCity is a great place to see details and select product.

My unit did not come with instruction manual. Showed constant interference from downriggers in trolling situations. Great GPS unit once I figured out the menu controls and otherwise lost in thick inland fog in BC Ocean. Depth contour in Sonar mode good with many color choices for the display. Unit flashes when over 300 ft deep. Unit constantly flashed inacurrate depth while travelling over 10 MPH. A fairly decent entry level GPS /Fishfinder Combo with included Navionics Gold for BC Westcoast charting with accurate Depth Contours .

The maps are good, a little slow to load and the fish finder is really only good for showing the bottom not fish
Dave, August 9, 2011
I installed this unit in June and disappointed in the product for the price. Set up is complicated, Chart depths/detail are too small to easily read, No fish finder capability. Online manual only which offers very little detail. Many low tech users cannot even find the supplied micro chip card. My screen has a purple haze in it. Does not compare to my Son's Garmin at much lower price. DSI is highly overrated. Boat symbol (location) on the chart is not very visible. Chip does contain many inland Ont lakes as well as Great Lakes & North Channel. Screen size is nice.
