PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Re lowrance HDS 7 gen 1
Q1 - i have a lowrance HDS 7 gen 1 version with structure scan that i am pretty happy with but the question is is it worth it to upgrade to say a HDS 7 gen 2 or maybe a HDS 8 gen 2 with the structure scan and whats the big advantages of doing that upgrade from my original HDS 7 gen 1 unit with structure scan - also can i use my original gen 1 unit structure scan module with the new gen 2 unit if i do upgrade or do i have to buy the new structure scan 2 module also
Q 2 - Also my navionics card which was updated by navionics about a year and bit back is a Gold /XL9 SD/32XG V02.22 that i use it in my HDS7 gen 1 unit - but i also need to use it in my older but still good Lowrance LCX27c unit that i have on my trailer sailer when i take that out some days and i heard a wishper that some of the new updated navionics Gold cards may not work in the older sounder/ gps combos like my LCX27 c - anyone can throw some light on that situation - have asked navionics but arent much help as no reply received ???
thanks for any experienced help - did a search of the forums got swamped with stuff but could not really find the relevant answers
cheers and my best rob
The key hardware differences are really updates to the processor and subcomponents for better performance. the underlying O/S is effectively the same version. With the exception of the latest update for the Touch and Gen2 units.
Thanks honda appreciated mate thats what i sort of thought myself a better faster processor and some software updates (i know you know about this stuff) - hope your HDS unit is finally behaving ok - must say i would certainly like the HDS 8 gen 2 with the SS2 but finding it pretty hard to justify those biggish dollars to spy a few extra flathead holes -
thanks again rob
