I gave up on that a while back.

He is running Lakemaster, you are running Navionics.

Lakemaster.... OK I sure dont like the Navionics card i have in my 997! I've got a $100 Navionics card in my old lowrance 334 thats lots better in my opinion

I have both the navionics and lakemaster cards for my 997 and both have their pros and cons. The lakemaster has more detail and map options while the navionics has more lakes. I have not updated my navionics via the website yet so i don't know how much more detail i will get. The lakemaster will have 1 foot depths vs the navionics. Getting the navionics platinum is not worth the extra money imho. I would just stick with the one below it. I think the pro version.

As for the actual si vs di units, the di units will have a dedicated element for that function while the si units will use 2 beams and rotate and combine them to show down imaging. The di unit will have a slightly better picture with less user input from my personal experience when i messed with my friend's 597.

...and that's my 2 cents
