Just ordered a Lowrance Elite-5 Combo

[workinpr0gress]

I was looking for a combo plotter/sonar to flush mount in my old 20's console. I was in between getting a Standard 180i, Northstar 650, Lowrance Elite 5. I skipped the Garmin because I wanted a little better sonar. The Lowrance Combo was interesting to me but I couldn't find much info on it yet, I guess cause its so new. I got much better info when I called Lowrance than what they offer up to the public. This thing supposedly has one of the best base maps for a cheap unit, which I like in case I am somewhere not covered well by a chip. It also is supposed to have a good sonar for the money. I am not a huge fan of any unit you can't directly enter #'s but space is limited and I'm not gonna spend a small fortune on something thats gonna be out in the weather most of the time. For what I use it for it should be perfect. At least I'm sure it's better than the 5-8 year old stuff it's replacing.

Anyone use one yet? Any impressions?

Thanks, Bruce
