In the description of this unit it says that it is side imaging and down imaging compatible. Will it do these functions with the transducer provided? Or is it a trick use of words that means I have to buy something else in order to make it work?
There are no “tricks” from Humminbird. Plug and play with the exact features indicated.
Do you have anything currently?
The latest birds can steal capabilities through networking. You used to have to buy all si, to get si on all. But not now! Good way to save $1k especially when Playing with the big screens. I would have to read up on whether that started in gen 2 or 3. Best thing they could’ve done if they’d done that year’s ago I be oodles ahead!
Shared via ethernet not “steal” you have been able to share on networked units for years. All SI unit include SI/DI/2D. All DI units include DI/2D.
