    HD is high definition. These units have the highest pixel count per screen size. I don't know if the older units are ethernet compatable, but the HD units are.


    I think C= color. I=internal GPS

    The HD in the newer HB units does not mean they are any clearer than the older non-HD models...
    The pixel counts did not change...

    HB just decided to add the "HD" moniker because they already had the highest pixel count possible in the units...

    HD unit is at least the 2011 unit with ethernet. All 798 units have the same screen resolution.

    the new networking connection. direct connect if you're just connecting just unit-to-unit with no Interlink module. They are coming out with a hub this year if you have mutliple units to hook up. They are also releasing some radar units this year.

    I could be wrong but I thought I saw a post by Humminbird Greg saying you could update the older non HD unit and have the same thing as new HD unit. I would check that out cause it would save you some dollars.

    The connection ends are not the same. You can use interlink on the ethernet capable unit but not the other way around.
