Does anyone here have any experience with any of these units? Heard they are very easy to use, but no experience with them. Currently looking to upgrade from an old eagle pirana. All inland lake use. Is the down imaging worth the extra money? Thanks in advance.
I have a Garmin 540 DV that is easy to use, it came with Lake Vu Maps. It is not chirp or down imaging. I did talk to sales person at West Marine and was asking what the Raymarine 5 was like, he said it was much slower. I also have Lowrance HDS 5 at dash that I like and it has inland lakes.
I heard there was an itc ruling that is basically going to cause a stop in sell of the Garmin Dv due to patent infringement on the Lowrance downscan. So depending on what happens you might have a tough time finding a garmin dv I would get a hook unit with the Navionics + chip included. much better details and best charts in the business.
I have the dragon fly pro 7, love it very detailed, and has. Chirp, and down vision. Very good unit. Been running it since may, very good dependable unit. Essy to use.
2 pics are from my unit dragon pro 7 , the 2 red ones are from my cell phine. Dragon pro has wifi, to put sonar or your down vision on your cell with a app.
