lowrance antenna question

Which antenna was before the point one, want to buy one but dont want to spend to much ,running 2 hds5 g2 on lss1 box and lss2 ducer, what antenna would you guys recommend, thanks

Get the point 1, the older antenna isn't any better than the built in antenna.

Ok thanks ,thats what i didnt know

The big Point-1 advantage for most of us bass guys with open boats is the heading sensor that is part of the Point-1 accessory. Rarely is there a big difference in received GPS satellite signal. Instead, the gain is that the heading sensor helps stop the map from spinning if your movement slows down to a crawl. At very low (or zero) speeds) the computer can't tell which way the boat is pointing and the map can begin to spin as a result.

The heading sensor inside the Point-1 generally stops the spin in its tracks. That way, you can approach a waypoint at creep speed and remain locked on with a stable map view. Point-1 definitely works with Gen2 and later. There is conflicting info about it working as intended with Gen1 HDS units. (Lowrance used to say it did not, but owners have reported that it did work.)
