I have a Elite 5 DSI. Its not bad but not as user friendly as A comparable Hummingbird I had before. Doesnt seem to target fish very well on the sonar screen.

I dont have a Nav chip in mine but have had no problems with it knowing the area. Ive been from the mouth of th CT river to Block Island. It has most Reefs and channels in it already. I checked bouy cans with it against my radar and atleast in my river they are where it says they are.

Arches will show up more defined @ 50kw over 200
