I am planning on purchasing new electronics and I am thinking of Lowrance TI 9 or a Garmin 9 Echomap Plus 93SV . I would appreciate any input, it is quite confusing.

I would go lowrance. Creating waypoints on the garmin is awful. Lowrance will have the same as “panoptics” in March. They have the same technology per a court ruling in 2018. I also don’t like the garmin gimbal bracket with the backplate. Seems like a lot to go wrong to me.

Same tech, but it costs 50% more from Lowrance. That is, if lowrance ever actually brings the product to market.

Garmin for sonar and Humminbird for GPS.
I agree 100% also Bird for the Mega SI...that SI is unbelievable Ive got numerous shots of Muskie on mine where there is no doubt its a Huge Ski!!! Id go Garmin for Sonar and Bird everything else...Ive got 2 Helix 10s I love...would love to get panoptix though
