Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | Comparing units years old to today's considering the rapidly advancing microprocessor, display, and transducer technology is like comparing a 2006 to today's Chevy or Ford trucks. Market share, new product development advances, and the company internal structures change as well, in Lowrance's AND Humminbird's case quite dramatically.
Both Johnson Outdoors and Navico have produced products that had issues, both have had customer service issues, and both have worked through them and are building the best equipment we have ever seen. Get to a store where you can try both, talk to folks and compare like Tom did, and then make a decision. One thing for sure, the 'advantage' will be an ever shifting field in the future as new technology is developed and introduced. |
