You guys gave me such good advice concerning my trolling motor last year I am asking about my next upgrade. I have narrowed it down to the HDS7 Touch Bundle wuth USA Insight Mapping which I found for around 1,650.00 Vs the Humminbird 898 plus the Navionics Platinum map chip which I have found for about 1,500.00. (I am not particularly happy that Tennessee is on the East Chip. I don't fish there much, but since I am in North Mississippi I would go there before some of the other states on the South Chip.)

Due to everyone's great advice I did get the Terrova iPilot 80 last year and love it. I know about the new link option with Humminbird, but that seems to be a 700 - 800 dollar upgrade. I am also not sure what that will end up getting me. I currently have a Lowrance elite 5 B&W at the console and a Eagle 640c up front. My Terrova has the built in transducer and there is a skimmer on the back for the console. I am thinking about making the new unit moveable so I can use it in both spots, but keep the 640c up front anyway.

Will the New transducer in the back of the boat do me any good up front? I can turn it around on the Ram Mount and be able to view it from the front without moving it. It will do good for crankbait trolling later.

I have not had any experience with these more advanced units, but I am very technically capable since I am an IT guy. So any opinions?
