They just now made it to stores man so finding someones gonna be a little hard to do. Matter of fact my local bass pro still doesnt have it. Im almost positive that particular graph doesnt have 2d. I myself wouldnt own one that didnt have 2d also. My buddy is in the same search you are sounds like. Humminbird now has a unit out (brand new also, just hit stores) that has the downscan and 2d. Thats what he's gonna go with. He is a big lowrance fan but the lowrance tech told him that to have down scan and 2d technology he would have to upgrade to the lowrance hds models ( a lot more $$$$$). Good luck in your search but keep in mind downscan without being able to split your screen to 2d on one side and downscan on the other would stink. I have the hb 997 and if im downscan i pretty much always have 2d on at the same time. The reason why is because when your in downscan mode you see a lot of area on downscan. The beam covers an area a lot wider than you "2d" technology. So lets say you run over a tree and you want to fish it. In 20 feet of water a tree layin on the bottom could be to the left or right side of your boat several feet and you may not be able to pinpoint EXACTLY when the tree is BUT if you have your 2d technology on along side and hit is set correctly it would only be seeing a small circle under the transducer so if you see the tree on your 2d then that means it was in fact right under the boat. If you see something on downscan but not on your 2d at the same time then it was off to one side of your boat or the other..........Quote:
