I have a Lowrance hds5, but it doesn't have the chart chip installed. If like to be able to see the chart as well as the depth sounder display when trolling and be able to tag where I see bait balls so I can turn around and hit the same spot. I could get the navionics chip for my Lowrance or I could get an iPad with the navionics app on it. The nice thing about the iPad is the huge display size, and I can leave the Lowrance on depth sounder mode full screen (rather than split screen, half chart half fish finder). Any reason why I shouldn't go with the iPad for the chart and then leave the Lowrance on fish finder screen?
