Humminbird for me. Not only do they have great service, always have had, but their units don't break very often. I have 2 old 997 that have been on 4 boats and have never faltered. I did have a temp sensor on a transducer go bad and Humminbird sent me one the day I called with a prepaid shipping label to send the old one back. I have new ones on my big boat now and they are great.

Garmin is looking good, bird is running a close second.

You need to see how their mapping is for our area since you can only use Garmins maps in a Garmin unit. Last time I looked, they didn't have much for our region. Here's a few pics from Canyon, nothing special but it's something to look at. This ones kinda cool, old rock wall. This one is of that water intake thing. This is a old bridge at Choke Canyon.

+1 on Garmin. I love my touchscreen unit so far. User friendly and still works in and after a good rain. I am not sure why these units are not more popular

I've got one of each on my boat and prefer the better picture quality of Lowrance to the user-friendliness of the HB. But they're both good units.

Those are some really great pictures grout scout. Is that a gen 2 HDS?

I am about to go back to Lowrance! Ready to turn my Hummingbirds into a brush pile! I have owned 5 new boats in the last 4 yrs. I have had interference with them all on the front of the boat when I use my trolling motor. I have already had my newest boat in twice trying to solve the problem just like the other boats I have had. The last thing we tried Hummingbird told me they have no other solutions to fix it. Everytime I hit the button on trolling motor it reads 12 ft deep regardless of how deep it is. I am so frustrated right now! If we can't find a solution I will be requesting my dealer change my electronics on my boat to Lowrance. I used to have Lowrance and switched 5 yrs ago and looks like I will be going back to Lowrance soon.

Garmin has the best bang for the buck imo, I recently purchased a 93sv and 73dv and I couldn't get close to the options on another brand for what I spent without going to smaller units.

Those are some really great pictures grout scout. Is that a gen 2 HDS? Yes sir, those are from a 12T with the LSS2 plugged directly into it. For the record, I don't care what brand anybody buys because I am only sponsored by my wallet; but I get so sick of guys saying "buy this, it's the best" and they have nothing to show why it's so great. The pic David posted from the Onix is cool, I wonder if that's a old deer blind or what?

Are you wired in up front or do you have a wire that runs all the way to the battery ? I am about to go back to Lowrance! Ready to turn my Hummingbirds into a brush pile!

Love the HDS Gen 2 touches! Much faster navigation.

Love the HDS Gen 2 touches! Much faster navigation. The gen3 are almost instant, very fast; but the price tag is going up fast too! Too dang expensive for a toy.
