I have 2 ongoing issues with my Elite 7 HDI. The first is that it periodically looses satellite connection and I lose part of my trail while it reconnects. The other is that the depth goes to reading 1.5 -1.7 FOW. For the later, I have to shut down the unit and start it up again to get it to read properly. Neither terribly serious problems, but certainly frustrating.
If you get a Navionics chart for your unit you will need to upgrade it also so it can read SonarChart layer and it will also open the unit for recording sonar logs.
I had the same problem with my Elite 7. I called Lowrance and the told me I needed to buy a point 1 antenna and NMEA 2000 starter kit and make sure I had the most current update. This worked but I was still pi$$ed I had to spend an additional $300 to make my unit work.
Now I have to admit I do love the unit now with the antenna, I haven't had a single issue since
