I use the Lowrance HDS 7 Gen 2. I absolutely love it. The newer technology is the "touch screen" which is also more $'s. Go see AJ in Meredith if you want to see a demo. Also, he may have a leftover. Most of the posts so far are using the Gen 2. The Gen 3 is the newer version and I believe touch screen. I use a Navionics chip which is pretty accurate but not totally. The chips run $100-$150 and $200 or thereabouts. I use the mid range ($150) in my unit and I have a Navionics app in my phone ($25 per/yr) for greater depth detail.
Good luck on whatever you decide on........Bob
