I want to upgrade to color FF/ GPS chartplotter combo . Been wondering what to get . The HDS-5 seems close to my budget and likes for my smaller boat but by the time I get the charts I am going to be up to at least a grand.
I have been curious about the Elite-5 DSI , especially the Gold model, the one that comes bundled with the Navionics Gold micro SD with coastal US and Canada . Anyone have an opinion of either of these HD and DSI units?
I like the older Lowrance pre HD , LCX-27c but wondering if the new HD models are really worth the cost ? .....Maybe I should just find a used pre HD like the LCX-27c ?
