Thread: Discussion on Lowrance Elite 5 DSI/Chartplotter ....

Alamancecreek ... thanks !

Yeah, a 5" screen is a little smaller than I'd like, too. But, it's bigger than the screen on the unit it replaces.

I agree on the owners manual ... but then, most are either too short & vague or too long & complicated Doh .... which is why I have the emulator downloaded on my computer, so I can play with that & learn what all the menus have & do.

I'm a total newbie on this GPS/chartplotter stuff, and basically only used a depthfinder to know what depth of water I was over (and if there was any obvious cover beneath me) ... which is why I started this thread, so as to concentrate on matters that concern this unit alone, and not get embroiled in a HB vs Lowrance discussion.
