More competition for sidescan technology, something that at one time was the exclusive domain of Humminbird.
Navico (Lowrance/Simrad), Garmin, and now Raymarine. No more patent infringements?

I have a Raymarine auto pilot, and that's as far as I will go with that brand. Lowrance just announced an auto pilot that will interface with the HDS units.
Whether you buy the latest technology or not, competition is good for everyone. It lowers pricing, makes companies refine and improve the quality of their product BEFORE they put it out on the market and it gives us all more choices when it's time to buy.
If you're happy with your current setup and it meets your needs, then you've made a good investment. :cheers2

I hope they are targeting the guys with a tighter wallet. I don't see anything special with their pictures. They should look at hiring a different marketing manager, because I have to screw up my HB to get pictures that grainy.
Oops
Yes Oops!!Quote:

I'm getting so far behind.
Brett, you ordered one yet?:biggrinQuote:
