[QUOTE="WTM, post: 4747342, member: 6230"] i think you would be happy with either of those units with their stock xducers. lowrance and garmin have patent exchange agreements now even though they are competitors there are a lot of similarities in features between the two. still more options with xducers on the garmin but stuff like mapping and only needing one map card upgrade for networked units, sonar sharing, map making, wifi, etc. from what ive seen of the C-map us inland, its descent, but if it doesnt include the new tennessee map data then garmin has the better option, and its very accurate on the elite surveyed lakes and on the lakes that they havent surveyed, they use navionics data since they own them now. a couple of things i that would concern me with the Ti2, as of now, i dont think it is Livesight compatible, the ethernet port is wireless, meaning no cables need to link another unit BUT the nature of wifi can be flaky sometimes and i would like to see an option for a physical wired ethernet port for sonar and map sharing. that xducer is 11” long but they do include a broadband skimmer. i dont know how garmin and humminbird produces great imaging with such short xducers, trade secret i guess. i wish garmin would allow other map cards to be used, while not necessary because of their mapping, it would come in handy on some other smaller lakes where other companies may have surveyed them. hopefully they will upgrade firmware so that their wifi could be used as a virtual ethernet port for sonar and map sharing. i talked with the hispster C-map tech at the boat ramp in camden this past december and he said they were scanning KY lake. i asked them how far back in the flats they were scanning and they said as far as they could get. he had an aluminum boat with a mud devil on it and he said there where 3 other boats scanning the main lake and creek channels. pretty cool stuff and those tennessee maps should be pretty danged accurate.
