If your going to use the depth sounder much you won't be happy running split screen with a 5 inch screen. Go for the 7 if possible.
This is true, I had a 7 inch on my old boat (just black and white though) and now have a color 5 inch.
The color is much nicer, but I really miss the larger screen.
One thing I have done though is I keep it on map and just add digital data to the map. I add speed, depth, time, whatever I want on there.
The only time I actually use a split screen is if im looking for a piece of structure and seeing if there is bait or fish holding on it. Otherwise it is in full map view with the depth displayed in that view.
Just an option. The 7 inch model is considerably more expensive so I am just making do with this for now. |
