In Market to Buy New GPS Side Image Unit...Best choice?!

[kickingback]

Hey guys. I am now in the market to buy a good HD side image unit and wanted to get ideas as to the best model and make for under $750. That is all I have to include buying the Navionics or Lakemaster card for the unit I get.

I want a unit that has good screen that can be seen easily in the daylight and one that saves images of scans as well if possible.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Call Brian at BBG Marine. BTW He gives a military discount

Thanks! I decided to go with the Hummingbird 899CI HD SI for just under $880 to my door. Think I got a good deal. Hope the unit is one that will work for years to come.

Now I have to buy the lake card for the unit. Which is better? Lakemaster or Navionics? Thanks

Better ask some folks from your home state. Here in MS neither are great.

Here's the Navionics web app...

It shows the same detail that would be on the card for your region...

LakeMaster has more features dedicated to the HB units...(because Johnson Outdoors owns HB and Lakemaster)...
Humminbird Lakemaster

There is also the option of AutoChart and AutoChart Pro to map your own custom lake contours ...
