    Default Elite 7 Ti and Helix 7 SI


    I went to BPS today and played with both units, they are both really amazing. The helix's price was a big plus at $650 and autochart live is a great feature. The lowrance unit was $150 higher at $800 but it is pretty neat. The lowrance images looked way better to me and was easier to use imo. The only drawback is no live mapping, but I have an elite 5HDI on the front so I am familiar with how to make and use my own maps with insight.
    I was researching the lowrance units online and found several places and a YouTube video that showed the elite 7 Ti using structure map overlay. If it were true that it did have that capability it would seal the deal for me. Problem is I can't find anywhere on the lowrance site that confirms it. Can someone please clarify for me. I would love any other info y'all can supply.

    As usual you are the master. I didn't research hard enough, thank you!
    Anyone have any thoughts on either unit?

    I'm still puzzled that lowrance does not advertise this feature on the elite ti's
    They advertise the heck out of it with the hds series.... Am I missing something?

    I don't have any links to discussions on StructureMap in the Elite ti ...

    I do wonder if StructureMap taxes the Elite ti processor in application ...
