I know fishermen are very brand loyal but I recently made some very serious changes all the way around. I went from Stratos to Triton, from MinnKota to MotorGuide, from Yamaha to Mercury and the biggest change of all.... From Lowrance to Humminbird.
I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. My Humminbird units are so much more user friendly and I have nothing negative to say about them.
Can't wait to upgrade to the new 360 technology soon!!!

Yep, Humminbird seems to actually be trying to help the consumer while Lowrance seems more intent on seeing how many accessories they can sell.

Well I have always had hbird until I sold my nitro I just bought a new (to me) boat yesterday and it had a hds 7 and hds 5 on it and I am going to try them out. I never had si on my birds so I guess these will be my first si units.

Let me know how you like them. I just upgraded to SI on the console and am still learning to use it but I can already see where it will be very useful and hell, it looks cool.

The fishing was good; it was the catching that was bad

Do both of these brands offer the "link" or "share" data?

Yes as far as I know they do. I am running Humminbird units that are interlinked and a buddy of mine was running networked Lowrance units until he recently made the switch over to Humminbird as well.
