Now in 9" & 12" Take a look:

I really like using my Lowrance to jig lakers in 125-140ft of water. The 360 didn't really took a lot of market mainly because the prostaff were not impress with it same for the Lowrance Spotlight. With the Patnoptix we are touching another level of $$. It's important to compare $ vs $

The touchscreen is a major plus for me and the Smart Steer to control my Xi5 is also a big big plus. I also use the Navionics Platinum something that the Helix processor can't handle.

I'm a Lowrance user but I fish with friends that are running Ray and HB unit; I should say was running HB because now he is running Lowrance Elite Ti. One thing that I would never go back is the button only control; it's like going back to a flip flap phone. It's much faster and easier to use with the touch screen. I didn't ask you what kind of fishing you are doing but for my part I really like my Motor Guide Xi5 link to my Lowrance; I can program my trolling line and use the kicker to push and the Xi5 to maintain my course. The antenna on the Lowrance is much faster 10 Hz compare to 5. On the Helix7 Si you got 83/200 and 455 and for the Elite: 83/200 455/800 and CHIRP and max panel is 2 and 2 also for the Dragonfly. On the dragonfly you have 50/200 and 320/380 for the downscan. As for making you're map at this moment you can use Insight Genesis and in the very near future you will also be able to create you're own map visible on you're Elite Ti screen using Navionics. For the Dragonfly you are stuck with the Garmin map.

The Elite Ti-7 comes with the wifi so you can download map, update, you can also view the screen and control the unit; also view you're screen on a smartphone not to forgot the touchscreen. It offer 2D, CHIRP, downscan, sidescan with the Totalscan transducer, NMEA 2000 capability. Processor is the same use on the Gen-3 that allowed to use the Navionics Platinum Dragonfly offer: downscan, CHIRP,wireless no touchscreen Garmin Echomap: no touchscreen, side imaging on the sv unit, downscan on sv and dv unit, CHIRP, no wireless and no NMEA, no choice on the mapping side

One of the major complaint about those units was the slowliness of the gps. Lowrance has just pull out an update to fix this.

When you say preloaded they are not. The maps are coming on a SD card with a mini (MSD) card so it can be use in differrent model of chartplotter. The newer chartplotter comes with a Navionics+. To get an idea on what you are getting the best way is to look at the webapp page on Navionics.com Click on the link: https://webapp.navionics.com/?lang=en#boating@9&key=odfzFr%7B~aM
