    HDS units run the bigger chip. I think you could get an HDS-5 somewhere close to your budget.

    I currently have Lowrance LCX units an like them VERY much. They use a normal
    SD card. If you think you might want side-imaging/structure-scan that won’t
    work out. But if you don’t foresee a need for the side-imaging you can get a
    really nice used LCX for a good price.

    I run a HDS 5 and it runs the 2010 LM , chips for sale in the classifieds, it is a micro but comes with a adapter to run in all lowrance units.

    What everyone else said!

    All the HDS systems will take the larger map cards.

    Steve, if you would like to hook up over a weekend, I can show you the 8 on pool 4.

    Good luck on your adventure in purchasing!

    Cabelas has that unit for 649. The marina wants to charge me 719. We are at a bit of a bypass. Gots to put on my negotiating hat

    Why not save some $ and support a site sponsor at the same
    time?

    Does that 719 price include installation?

    You don’t need expertise. They are pretty easy to install. Just follow the directions.
