Updates can be done, but you must be teck savy, you need to remove the card and then do the on line update useing a card reader then insert the card into the reader and complete the update useing the info from the card reader to your card out of the unit, not excactly shure how its done, but I was told it can be done, someone from here told me how to do it I'll have to go back through my PM's to get the hole scoop, as this was a concern of mine also, since I bought a ELITE 7 ?also

I figured it was possible some way. how do you like your elite??

The new Lowrance Elite 7 HDI, 16X9 screen, downscan, broadband

Best buy for the money

I really like the look of the elite 7 nice looking unit. although do you think it should be a concern that you are no able to update the units software? Do they change much from year to year? i really like the elites just unsure if not being able to update

I have the Lowrance hds8 gen 2 and love it, I have a Lowrance 520c and have not had a problem with either and there customer service answered all the question I gave them before buying the hds8 called them at least 5 times. Here is a boat on Oneida lake picked up with my Lowrance

haha thats sick! wow very clear. are you lorance guys using airmar ducers?

Check out the Humminbird 858 or 958. You wont be disappointed. The only difference between the two is the screen size. Neither of them come with down imaging or side imaging, which you probably wont use anyway. We had a 958 with an Airmar SS60 transducer, and it was was a great unit. If you shop around the Internet you can probably find the 958 around $1,000. Otherwise, the 858 is under your price point, and would work just fine.

would you recomend buying the unit with out a trandcuer and then going with an airmar ?

I have been doing as much research as i can, most reviews i have found are all bass / inland lake guys .. Figured i might as well ask the pros on here.

Whats your thaughts on the Lowrance units  Yankee Troller?

Hey guys, I am in the market for a new fish finder / gps unit.

I mainly fish for salmon / bows and walley in the great lakes.

Looking for something under the 1000$ range. Considering the type of fishing we do im guessing side imaging and down scan are not really needed.

Have have been looking into the lorance hds models. or possibly something from hummingbird. I am open to suggestions.

Going on a 17ft sylvan deep V. any help or input would be greatly appreciated.
