    I have one on my boat, wife bought it for me this Christmas, now my son and I have been out fishing and he showed me some things on it, using the plotter to get to the mats faster etc...he also loves it...I do a variety of fishing long lining, spider riggin and one pole hand fishing and find it works great in all three aspects. No I don't have any of the maps on it just using what comes with the unit.

    I have the Elite 5 DSI. Installed it last Fall and love it. Great detail. I have the sensitivity set so I can actually see my bait below along with it's movement. Clear in bright sunlight as well. The Navionics chip I have with it has 1 foot contours for Toledo Bend. There's a sticky in the fishing electronics forum about this specific unit - a very good read.

    I did some research; it seems like a good unit. Cabelas Club price is $399; you can buy it new on e-bay for $326. I've been wanting a down imaging unit; this may be the one.
