Hi: looking to put new sonar in the boat. I have been looking at the lowrance generation 2 ,the Simrad MSS 7,8, or 12, and just stared to look at the raymarine stuff.
Here is how I see it,
The lowrance has: 2 SD card slots (more room to play with and for the Stru. mapping)
Side and down scan with the purchase of the extra transducer
And second box, the same goes for simrad, (exactly same equipment,
Made by lowrance for both simrad and lowance finders)
Lowrance has structure mapping
I think the lowrance has a plastic screen
The Simrad has: the touch screen (which looks way faster to navigate around)
Only one SD. Card slot
Does not have structure Mapping (But does have touch way points Even under water touch way points)
The screen is supposed to be brighter and faster?
And to my understanding the Simrad has more boating features
That is able to be added when you want to
So any help in choosing one of these would be great.
One final note, heard someone saying that there will be a new Structure Scan (LSS 1 )Vs. (LSS 2 H D) Coming out for lowrance only!! In the next few month anyone read this.
Also that the structure mapping will shortly be available in the simrad stuff to
thanks!!
