Kidding asside I am serious about the elite 7 or related Lowrance and the 800 series HBs. At the moment the HBs are in favor.
If GPS tracking is real important to you then go with the Hummer, was not impressed with the tracking on the Elite 7, other than that it was great. I use Lowrance only now but my Elite 7 lacked something in the GPS department. Good luck
