This is not a Humminbird versus Lowrance post. I have been looking into a Humminbird unit and my biggest draw back is the overlay strip on the left hand side of the screen. I don"t think their is anything that can be done, but, live with it.It seems that you pay for a larger screen, only to have part of it used for other information. Maybe this is not a distraction and maybe you will not notice it and learn to accept it. You guys that have these units probably don't even notice it and maybe I would be the same way once I used it regularly. If this weather doesn't get better I am going to do something that I may regret. I need to go sit in my boat for a day. I don't even care if I catch any fish.......Spring is almost here.Pass it on to the weather man.....crappie1133
