| What are the major advantages of the new Lowrance models with the 30G hard drives? Is there something coming down the pipe that would require this or just one of them 'things' to have? I was hoping one of you Lowrance Gurus could enlighten me. |

| The old (or last years units) had a 20GB hard drive and the New or lastest and greatest have the 30GB. I'm sure most of that is due to all the latest mapping technology. The more advanced the maps get the greater the need for menory to hold all that info. The 2007 units have the latest version or Map create #7, this has all the latest available maps loaded into the units.
If you were to figure out all the chips you would need to purchase to have the same coverage the Harddrive units come with, it would cost you more in the long run not to have the new units.
Doc would be the guy to ask, he knows more about the units than anyone I know of. Doc Sampson that is  |

| Besides the maps, I use the hard drive to record my logged charts.
I also keep my waypoints by lake, each on a separate file. When I go to a new lake I always have my waypoints. I need to separate my waypoints because I have over a 1000 and they are easier to manage when there are fewer. I also put my .lcm maps that I create (contour maps) on the hard drive. The only way to tell if the maps are worth it, each person must view the maps on the unit for the lakes they fish. Go to a store that has a hard drive unit and select the different maps. The map choices are under the map menu and then map data. If you want to learn how I use my Lowrance come to my classes at Scheels April 28. Go to www.hightechfishing.com.

| THe Maps are basic, your Chips are better.
The biggest reason is for logging space on the Hard Drive. 1000 minutes of sonar logging per GB.
Very Nice
