I am thinking of a Lowrance HDS 7m Chartplotter stand alone unit. Does anybody know how slow they will record/display water speed. For instance if I want to do a slow Seth Greene rig in 140 FOW will it go down to 1/2 MPH? Also any comments on the unit would be appreciated. Thanks

I actually have the HDS-8 bigger is always better, the soft keys on the bottom of the unit are really nice for quick adjustments and screen wise everything is actually big enough when running it in split screen. I originally had the HDS-7 and I sold it and got the 8, much better.

IMO the ONLY way to go with a stand alone chart plotter is with a Garmin. They have by far the best one on the market and even outshine the Furuno stuff. Take a look at the 500 or 700 series, I've used them both and they are awesome.
