Consumer Critiques


The color combo GPS/Sounder is okay but could be better. There was no user booklet in the box. I downloaded 1 and printed it but it was tough to read so I requested one particular from Lowrance. It is modest, not very descriptive and covers a multitude of unique units which makes it hard to know. I got the implication that there was no surface temperature built in to the transducer considering the fact that the installation leaflet shows an optional temperature sensor which plugs in to a second input in the unit. The DSI provides a especially clear picture but I do not know what to think and what is mystery. There is in fact temp buitl in to the transducer and it does display. The transducer is rather completely different than any I have ever observed. It is lengthy and spindlly and does not look rather robust should really it be hit from the side. It would not surprise me to see it broken off. Haven't figured out how to place in the Navionics micro sd card but will tug at the rubber plug and figure it out. Somewhat disappointed in my about twelfth Lorance unit beginning with the green box flasher.
