HB 958c DI Combo

[crappietale]

I have been doing a lot of research into a big screen GPS/fishfinder combo for my great lakes cruiser. My boat has a hard top so I MUST have use an external GPS receiver/antenna. I have been unable to determine if the HB 958c DI Combo includes the puck type receiver with it. I have also been unable to find out if the 958c DI and the 1158c DI are identical except for screen size. Another feature I have been unable to pin down on these units is the display. The GPS can be displayed FULL SCREEN. Can the sonar also be displayed FULL SCREEN? I use remote steering on my cruiser so I spend most of the time at the back of the boat..hence the need for a large screen.
I looked at the Lowance HDS8 and HDS10 units but the add ons required (GPS antenna, cables to connect antenna to head unit, etc) really added up. I think the HB 958c DI combo with an external antenna is what I want but am open to any other suggestions. Thanks.

The 958 and 1158 should be the same except for screen size and both should give you every screen as a full size option. If it is a ### c Di then it will have external whereas an internal antenna will be a ###ci Di. You will beach better off with the external as it is just better !!

Pm replied. I should have said also that what I have always read was that the "#### c" then "si/di" with the word "combo" that it would always be a unit that included and external gps
