Lowrance Elite 5 DSI Gold--Advise needed

[Hookedonslabs]

Seriously considering purchasing this unit, and am looking for any input, pro or con on this unit. My understanding is that the Gold series comes preloaded with the navionics card and has a built in Gps which does not require a puck. I would greatly appreciate any information from anyone who may own or have used one before my purchase as 719.00 is an expensive investment for an old fisherman, Thanks in advance,

I have the Elite 5 DSI unit and I'm still learning about it. The operator's manual is not very helpful.
