Pretty interesting stuff.. I really like the mapping feature. You can map with HB but can't load it to your unit. This unit allows you to map and overlay while in the boat..

I just realized I've been confusing shaw grigsby and minner troller all along
you trying to break me, ain;t ya Zack? Wonder what a HDS 10m with mounting brackets up front and at the console so I could move it PLUS everything you need to set it up right would cost?
MSRP of $2400 plus the extra bracket. But if you talk sweet to me I'll sell you my HDS 8 Insight for $1927 plus shipping.

My guess would be 6400 to 7000Quote:

Not really that big of an improvement but still pretty awesome that it has the computing power to do all that...
Yep, purty soon these fish finder companies are gonna have the computing power of my Iphone. Course, by the time they put that much juice in 'em they'll be $127,000 for the 5" size.

Awesome tech man. Maybe in 2 or 3 years I'll be ready to do come swapping out. Less you wanna buy me a setup for Christmas or sumpthin:crazy:
I kind of figured something was coming with the big rebates they've had on the old units.
Will say this about Gen2. Looks awful neat, but the real reason to go Gen2 would be the processor speed. Mine tends to lag at times redrawing the maps, zooming or swithing views. Not enough bang to get me to upgrade at the moment though.
