I've been communicating with Orion regarding the Lowrance HDS5 and it does look very tempting. Can anyone shed any light on units they are using for fishfinder gps combos other than those using the Bizer feature. BTW standard horizon now makes the CPF180I which is a combo unit as opposed to the older CP180I which required a black box fishfinder FF250 I believe. So now they have combined the 2. I have been told the Standard Horizons are not the easiest to operate however.
