Humminbird question

Apart from imperial units, is there any difference between the 798ci HD SI Combo, sold in the US, and the 798 cxi SI Combo sold here?

Would welcome any feedback on these units.

[INDULGENCE]

No difference except the imperial units, you will have trouble buying one in the States however as most people are now out of stock. New models will be released early new year
The "x"identifies it as Pacific model
If you can wait until the new models I would

Thanks for the info Wally, much appreciated. What are the advantages of the new models - I thought they were mostly pitched at the low to middle end?

[INDULGENCE]

Sorry I dont know, just been told to wait.
My thoughts all models HD SI and possible touch screen.

Wally, all the details can be found on the Bassboat Central Board. No touch screen and no side imaging from what I can see.

[INDULGENCE]

Thanks for that, now I will have to start again.
Too many options too little time

I got a 798 Si from getfeewet with a external antennae for a pretty good price,
It's my first unit so i can't compare but it is easy to use

The us model won't let you set the time zone to Australia so the tide charts don't work properly on the navionics card
