[QUOTE="Ponyroper, post: 68172, member: 423"] Thinking of picking up a small second fishfinder mainly to let me know depth and structure while I'm traveling across the lake. Lowrance has a special with a $50 rebate on their Elite-4 HDI CHIRP units and that would fit my needs. I have an Elite-7 HDI up front on the trolling motor and I would mount the smaller unit by the steering counsel. I've found two deals that look interesting and I'm looking for comments or opinions on them. One deal is the fishfinder/chart plotter with a sun cover and Lake Insight Pro card bundled together for $288. The other deal is the fishfinder/chart plotter with Navionics+ preloaded but no sun cover for $268. A sun cover would cost about $15 so the deals are pretty similar except for the different maps. The E-4 has Downscan capabilities and both units come with the Downscan transducer. I'm leaning toward the Lake Insight deal because I could use the map chip in my E-7 while the navionics map would have to stay in the E-4-I think. I don't know if the E-4 has networking capabilities but if it did and the Navionics maps are better I could go that route. Any thoughts/opinions/alternative suggestions? I'm already over budget at about $235 after rebate so if you have alternatives please keep that in mind. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
