Lowrance hds

I also have the HDs7 and love the unit. The gps is awsome and alot of options. I am also still learning how to set it up properly for fish etc.

But please post your experience about the structure scan. It sounds great but at an additional $550 I really need to know if its worth it.

I used tech support to assist in a download of a new operating system and they (Lowrance) were very helpful and had on line videos with full directions.

I can tell you for a fact, that you will get to know Linda Colt really well. She's the customer service/ president/ workhorse of Lowrance. I know of two people right now with the HDS8 that have filled up with water. Yea you will get another but right now it's five more weeks for a replacement with Lowrance. I wish you the very best of luck. I have had nothing but bad units from Lowrance since 06. They will be leaving my boat in the very near future. The quality of their product has gone down hill .
