Location: Grand Rapids MN		Playing with chart/screen speed helps some with getting distinct arches. I've used Lowrance/Eagle only before but going to pull the trigger on a Humminbird this year that has SI/DI. A feature they advertise called Switchfire which is the same as their previous TVG (Time Variable Gain) would seem handy for shallow water. Basically it allows you to still maintain your gain setting but it filters out surface clutter (low signal strength stuff) and it adjusts the arc sizes to a 'common' length. With DI you can adjust beam width and its more of a slice and not a cone so again it will help find fish on slopes and shallow situations. SI had been used for years for shallow water so I would seriously consider models with SI/DI. I really can't wait to try out all these new features and functions that I didn't have available on my LEI products.
