wormdunker Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 I was browsing Sail yesterday with no intentions of purchasing anything. Damn Zac (sales rep) showed me the Lowrance Elite 4, on sale reg $400.00 reduced to $300.00! Best part it comes with Navionics plus. The navionics plus sells for $230.00, so I got the Elite 4 for 70 bux! Woo Hoo!
206 Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 DSI ? I have a Mark4 and it works great for my lil boat. Crappy tire used to have them on sale 279 with hot maps
wormdunker Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Posted December 11, 2015 It's the HDI. I was told it's also compatible for ice fishing. I presently have a Humminbird 798 in the boat, has side imaging, down scan & GPS. My reasoning for the elite 4 is to operate it as a stand alone chart plotter. I fish Erie a lot for walleye. I want to see the depths ahead of time as there are many shoals on Erie that come up shallow very quickly. You'll be trolling in 40 fow then suddenly you're in 14 fow quickly. Imagine the tangles especially with 4 lines out!
Cast-Away Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 It says it only has the US map bud.
Viking Posted December 11, 2015 Report Posted December 11, 2015 Tanks for the tip. Got it on my Christma list and wife went it got it. Not allowed to play with it till christmas though. Box says maps for US, Canada, Great Lakes and Alaska?
wormdunker Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Posted December 12, 2015 Zac the sales guy told me it would show maps of Nipissing, the 5 great lakes, Simcoe. Pretty much what I need. I respect your statement, but, I hope ur wrong.
misfish Posted December 12, 2015 Report Posted December 12, 2015 From what I read on Radio world site......... Highly accurate, built-in GPS antenna plus a detailed U.S. map featuring more than 3,000 lakes and rivers and coastal contours to 1,000 feet. Navionics Gold chartcard featuring U.S./Canada/Alaska and Bahamas coastal, Great Lakes and major Canadian lakes detail. Optional chart upgrades include Lake Insight™ and Nautic Insight™ PRO and HD, Navionics® Gold and HotMaps® Premium,
ecmilley Posted December 12, 2015 Report Posted December 12, 2015 ct in lindsay has a bunch of marks on clearance from 227-299 some are regular sonar some hdi
tizfun Posted December 12, 2015 Report Posted December 12, 2015 Was at SAIL in Vaughan today.. they had 6 units left.. The sales rep said they come with the Navionics + card.. This way you choose which lakes you want on your card. Great price and saw 2 ppl walking with them in their hands.... Tiz
wormdunker Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Posted December 12, 2015 I haven't had a chance to open it & have a close look. Can it be used for ice fishing, do I need an ice ducer? Good to hear others are happy with it.
Rich Nelson Posted December 13, 2015 Report Posted December 13, 2015 Does it come with a magnifying glass?
