I will know more tomorrow, he said their equipment did not allow for the unit to be under power and be utilized like a sonar like the Lowrance model because of the transducer make.

previous Humminbird units did not have a transducer element for DI. Humminbird makes it's own transducers whereas Lowrance gets there's from a supplier that supplies them for multiple companies. the new Humminbird's coming out now will have the dedicated DI element; my guess (we'll see) is that it'll perform about like the other ones on the market such as Lowrance: best going slow, okay at mid range speeds, poor at high speed. the faster the boat's moving, the less data it can gather, there's really no way around that.
