    Default lowrance HDS-7


    to be specific it's theLowrance® HDS-7 Gen2 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter

    It says it has structure scan. What is structure scan? Also, how does the structure scan compare to side imaging? I'm considering buying a unit, but all of this depth finder terminology is new to me.

    Thanks.

    Structure scan is the SI accessory for the HDS7

    You have to buy a separate box and transducer to get sthe structure scan. It will give you Down and Side imaging.

    so with just the unit it only has DI, and I would have to buy the structure scan for an additional $600 to have the SI?

    Thanks for the replies

    Just the unit will have traditional 2d color sonar, the Structure Scan will give you side scan and down scan.

    2d on the left and down scan on the right.

    I would look at the hds 7 touch. If I'm not mistaken it has built in structure scan.
