Perfect product for any user!

Sonars are noticeably more expensive with map downloads, so the lack of a download can hardly be considered a disadvantage. In addition, there is not much trust in other people's cards, as individual, even large, stones are fixed on the screen, but will not be displayed in the final map. The echo sounder will "record" only the depths around the rocks. And the stones themselves need to be displayed manually with labels. Label names are inconvenient (cumbersome) to enter. Noticeably more confident "keeps depth" at a frequency of 200 kHz.

Pros
  • The class of the device is two orders of magnitude higher than Chinese handicrafts, but not ideal, which is dictated by the price niche. Draws a depth map well. It is possible to understand most of the functions on the menu, without a description. Works confidently with a small depth of immersion of the sensor, due to which, as well as a streamlined shape, it does not slow down the boat much. It is easy to quickly put a mark on the map. Automatic modes work well, although the bottom line is often lost during sudden changes in depth. Visibility in the sun is more or less acceptable. Quite logical display of depths in different colors, a useful predictive function (small depths along the direction or side of the movement are highlighted in red even before measurement). Sees schools of fish well. It is clear that this is exactly the jamb and at what depth. Phishing is not an issue at all. Large amount of tracking memory (for amateur purposes).
Cons
  • At a speed of 25 km / h, with a poor quality of the bottom, it can lose depth even by 5 m. With a good one, a depth of 124 m is recorded. Deeper - as you're lucky, you often have to slow down to 10-15 mph. The main disadvantage of this class of echo sounders is an external battery. But there is no choice (either a powerful impulse or convenience). Not the most convenient connectors.

Different pros: Everything works as it should (okay) I did not notice any cons, the main thing is that it works as it should and that's it. Its cons: I did not notice, the goods were brought in 1 day.

Different pros: - quality - functionality (price-quality ratio is excellent, better than competitors) Has some cons - you need to buy a battery for the echo sounder separately

Delivered to the point of issue 1 day later than written. But I do not consider this a serious delay, as they reported a delay 2 days before the planned delivery date.
