    Default Which one?


    Hummingbird 597ciHd/w Gps -OR- Hummingbird 597ciHD w/GPS and Down imaging? $ difference is about $150. To be used on the bow on the Trolling Motor. Which one do you suggest and or prefer and why. I already purchased the one without the DI but haven't opened it yet and may exchange it for one with DI if you guys think it's worth it. Thanks

    I believe it is. I have a Lowrance DSI, and love it. It basically give you everything that the sonar has, but let's you see exactly what structure you are looking at. Cedar Tree, Baboo, Tree Limbs, whatever. Now that they have DSI Technolgy, I wonder why they offer Sonar, except to give you something else. But given the choice of either, or. I would take the DSI.

    Some find DI as a replacement for 2d...

    Some find DI as a compliment to 2d...

    The HB DI units give the abilty to have both in the same unit to view individually or split screen ...

    I would add the DI, but if I could only have one of the three,DI, SI, 2D ,in my style of fishing it would be 2D

    Are DI units good in shallow water or do folks get Combo (?) units? Pardon the inexperience.
