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

Thanks for that info. These units could definitely stand some improvement. Maybe it will even help with the stalling while running chart and sonar split....Hopefully.

A friend of mine test it today and he was very happy with the result.

I tested mine yesterday with the Navionics card. The Elite 7 does not keep u with the GPS above 10mph. The Elite 5 works great.

11/06/2016 - UPDATE of sorts: Went to West Marine Grand Opening and the WM staff and Lowrance guy Ron Jasper re-updated my 7. Seems like the one I did didn't take for whatever reason. Still need to get on the water and see if that fixed the issue with the Navionics.
