I posted in the donut post how I am on the fence. I like the H.B. with DI but there is a voice in the back of my head saying stick with what you have which is Lowrance on my boat but neither has gps. What holds me back alot on the Lowrance is the complaining of the customer service. Like I said I am not bashing either company I am looking for help trying to pick a unit out. This is alot of money for me to spend on myself rather than my family. Thanks
Remember that the "Donut" is an easy fix by HB..it's simply a programming item...

HB will eventually fix the "Donut"...

HB is like any other big corporation....they have to know that their investment (paying programmers to write the correct code to eliminate the " Donut") will be offset by enough profits to make the investment change feasible...

That is why it is SO important to keep "Project HB Donut" alive and moving....

We are making noise that "the powers that be" at HB will hear and realize that HB is losing money to the competition because of a simple software fix...
