Seen them both in action, Lowrance has cleaner clearer and crisper imaging, However the humminbird is alot easier to use. Lowrance has alot of pages to thumb thru to get to where you want to be and bird takes a more direct approach.:D:D Hope this helps, Its one of those Six one way Half a dozen the other scenarios.
I love my 798 si ... hummingbird all the way!
Ditto on the 798...Quote:

I have Lowrance on one boat and HB on the other---I like the image quality and the ability to track at low speeds on the Lowrance, but the HB is more user friendly and possibly more bullet-proof. If HB would address the tracking problem at low speeds, I'd give them the edge.
