Model: | ALL SI Models |
Suggested Upgrade: | Provide Side Imaging Mosaic "Live" like competition |
Explanation: | It would be nice if Humminbird would make the Side Imaging Mosaic capability available "Live" on the water instead of having to purchase the AutoChart Pro for an additional $250. Humminbird's competition (Lowrance) provides this for their customers so it can be done live out on the water for free. Because Humminbird customer service has told me they are not familiar with Lowrance products I am providing a link to a video of Lowrances Structuremap being used. It shows it being saved so it can be used as a chart like a Navionics or Lakemaster chip could be used. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvhWdPlgZ5U (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvhWdPlgZ5U) Also, the following comparison on models with similar features makes it seems like it would be a good business decision to include Side Imaging Mosaic as a Live feature. HELIX 7 CHIRP SI GPS G2N $800 plus AUTOCHART PRO $250 = $1,050 Lowrance Elite-7 Ti Medium/High Sonar/GPS Combo w/Total Scan Transducer $800 (I believe the part # is 000-12419-001) Lowrance Elite-9 Ti Medium/High Sonar/GPS Combo w/Total Scan Transducer $1,000 (I believe the part # is 000-13274-001) (No separate software needed) |
