Humminbird 727 Sonar with GPS receiver added.

 

Humminbird 727 Sonar

I purchased this unit in August 08 to install on my pontoon boat "River Lizard II".  One of the main reasons I purchased this unit was price and options; this one allowed me to add GPS receiving at a later date if I decided to.
Screen settings are straight sonar, split sonar (overall left side and zoom bottom window right side), Flash finder (old style depth finder which I know someone that could read one of those in such detail), Split GPS and sonar, GPS sky view, GPS behind and above view and a few other GPS views I can't remember.

My current review of this product: 
Pros: Readable screen whether it's night time or a sunny day, controls are easy to use, was simple to install, gives you many options on screen settings.

Cons: Don't like the 3 second wait to shut unit off (you must hold the off button in for 3 seconds), don't like the mount clip on the bracket it makes it hard to remove unit for storage, no land markings on GPS function only a line grid,

GPS Receiver

I purchased this add-on option in Jan. 09 to upgrade my 727 with GPS.  I'm currently installing the unit and will give an updated review on this product once I have a few hours of run time with it.
