Looking for a new gps/locator combo. What is your opinion of down imaging. Does it work as good on the water as it looks on display in the store? Worth the extra $$$

I have the low range elite 5 dsi

I can see each leaf below me, the detail is great

I use it mostly for the gps but it helps to know what exactly is under me

Its great for structure, but not for finding fish. I usually drive around with split screen gps/standard sonar, so I don't use it much.

I have a 798CI SI that was on a boat i just bought. It still has the protector over the screen and has very little use. PM me if interested. I have the original box and manuals as well.

I use mine every time on the water. Get the biggest you can afford, you'll never hear anyone say,"Man I wish I bought a smaller graph!"

Lowarance elite 7 for sure! I got mine and it has been awesome. the 5 screen is just two small... plus the elite 7 offers all three screens side by side

The most valuable application of DI is comparing digital and analog. Often what looks like a fish on the analog graph is obviously bait or something else on the digital. Often the analog tells a better story but being able to see two views really gives you a better idea. There really is no substitute for that analog graph so a bigger screen (split) or two units is best. I run a HDS 10 that is usually split between DI and analog, my GPS is a separate unit. I would never run the DI only.
