I am considering putting some lowrance graphs on my boat and was wondering if any one has any experience with the elite 4 or the mark 4 graphs by lowrance, I am looking at a down imaging for the back of the boat and a gps/ chart plotter/ sonar for using off of the trolling motor. i am looking at the elite 4 and the mark 4 series because I really don't want huge graphs on my boat.
Unsure about those but I love my Humminbird 570 with DI. I know several others who bought the same unit and are happy with it. Just about everyone who has fished with me has bought one or wanting one. I can name several on here that has bought one since I got mine.
Love my hds units. Have put a bunch of Picts on here u can reference
I have a 520 ci loved it until I fished with Nimrod so I went with a hummer 597 di . The hummer is easer for me. Just my opinion I could be wrong :dono
hummingbird is a whole lot easier to use that lowrance !!!! i have used both, they are both good units. i would get a color unit for sure!!!!!!!!!
Ditto on color. Meat just read the manual lol and they aren't that bad.
Does the 570 di have gps so that you can set way points for later use? How does this unit work in stained to dirty water, I have heard some say that when you get in stained dirty water the screen blacks out, is this the case.Quote:

Stained water does not affect the performance of any brand of graphQuote:

I recently purchased an Elite 4. It has GPS but is not the DSI. I am very happy with the GPS. The graph I'm still getting used to. Although this maybe because I have never used one before. I'm very happy with it. My next purchase wil be a sonar w/out gps, with a bigger screen. Maybe an elite 5. I fish Maumelle most times. It is no problem finding the fish shelters. If you are going to Camp, you can check it out.
YOU WOULDN'T BE DISSAPOINTED WITH THE 597 CI COLOR AND DOWN IMG AND GPS I FISH OXBOWLS ALL THE TIME AND NO PROBLEMS :biggrin
You need to ask if they change the color pallet option. I can reverse dark/ light areas , bottom and structure / water. What I'm trying to say as water can appear light or black depending on pallet setting.Quote:
