does any one have experience with this unit.

I only hear good things about it and she looks great.  The only reason why I'm not buying one is that it can NOT be networked with their other devices.  It doesn't have any outputs only transducer and card slot.

chas0218 what is the best pure fish finder under 1000, I have an impulse 40-40 that is about to give up. I have other combo units but would like just a good fish finder

Honestly, I have had only lowrance and humminbird.  I like humminbirds more mostly for customer service and reliability.  I had a lowrance and it lasted 2 seasons, my father in law has had his lowrance for 6 years.  Only downside is that lowrance does not repair units they discount a new one.  

 

I am planning on getting a Raymarine a68 with built in CHIRP as my next unit.  I can network with my autopilot and any other accessory I add to the boat.

Ray marine:) next step up is furuno. Birds customer service is horrible. The people have no ides what they are talking about. Johnson outdoors has fallen apart IMHO.

I realize Furuno is top notch but having the ability to view "Down vision" is really nice if you are a multi-species angler.
