Lowrance or Hummingbird Side Imaging? - 03/03/16 04:22 PM
I have a Lowrance Elite 5 HDI right now which I've had for a year or so I'm upgrading to side imaging. I'm use to the Lowrance set up but hear that Hummingbird is easier to use, side imaging technology is better, the GPS doesn't lag behind.
As far as quality of imaging, accuracy of the GPS for way points and it's speed when you move to a way point...I hear bad stuff about the touch screens not functioning right with stuff on your fingers dirtying up the screen also. Which is better in your personal opinion I would like to get some honest feedback before I spend $600+ because this is an investment something I plan on keeping for years.
