Elite 7 Ti and Helix 7 SI
I went to BPS today and played with both units, they are both really amazing. The helix's price was a big plus at $650 and autochart live is a great feature. The lowrance unit was $150 higher at $800 but it is pretty neat. The lowrance images looked way better to me and was easier to use imo. The only drawback is no live mapping, but I have an elite 5HDI on the front so I am familiar with how to make and use my own maps with insight.
I was researching the lowrance units online and found several places and a YouTube video that showed the elite 7 Ti using structure map overlay. If it were true that it did have that capability it would seal the deal for me. Problem is I can't find anywhere on the lowrance site that confirms it. Can someone please clarify for me. I would love any other info y'all can supply.
