Just picked one up from Cabelas (Gonzales) this weekend.
It has a nice big screen. the base transducer only will show the old school sonar, which is all i need because i usually in 1-6 ft of water anyway. but it has the ability to upgrade the transducer to the dual imaging HD thing.

I have heard you can save maps made from Google earth and transfer them to this GPS. Hear is a video of a said maps and how its done. anyone ever done this?
I downloaded the programs last night. hopefully by the end of the week i will see if it works

Make your own maps

That'll be cool if you can make those maps work.

If you can't, try to find a map you like quick.

If the loaded map is the Insight, I doubt you'll find it very useful in our marsh areas. (from experience)

I use the Standard Mapping ones. Seems like I heard you could load that in the Elite 7. You can try mine if you want.

I called you back earlier...I have our survey contractor making me a google map for my unit. He said he has made them for other GPS/fishfinders in the past. He has stitched google map images and over laid them for my company just a few months ago. He said he would start looking at it tonight
