    Default Hds-5


    Since the rabates are on I was looking at the lake insight. My question is if I dont like the maps insight has can I buy a navionics chip to put in this unit and view navionics instead of insight. Also can this unit record things with a s/d card. Thanks

    Yes you can use a map chip instead of the Insight if you want. You can record screenshots and waypoints to a card as well.

    I have 2 HDS5 insight units. The maps are adequate for the lakes I fish. This unit has one card slot, keep that in mind as you'll be switching out every time you want to record, or take a screenshot if you go without insight.

    Thanks for the info guys. Since this has been a long cold winter my wife told me I could shed a few pounds and I told her when I get this gps I can start catching more fish to eat healthy.

    That's a good idea, will have to try that on my wife.

    ????HDS8 allows you to select record sonar log to internal memory or SD memory and snapshot always goes to internal memory???
