I think I need one!

LINK to HDS3 specs

Then, I can add their new Outboard Pilot and Broadband Radar.

Some may not agree, but I really think Lowrance is getting pretty hard to beat in the marine electronics market. ... anybody want to buy a complete Raymarine E80 Classic setup?

As an add on to Rods post... Was in WestMarine Victoria yesterday... They've got these pkg's on sale right now (until the 24th) It's the same price ($ wise) as the U.S. stores... but it's in CANADIAN DOLLARS!!! Apparently, due to the announced closure of the stores, they've 'forgotten' all about the stores in Canada. :doh: They'll even order the units in at the prices if they don't have them in the store...!!! Almost made me want to add the A78, CHIRP & radar unit to mine!
and they've been selling them like crazy...
Merry Christmas?

I have the A78 but no radar....  Still learning how to use it.  You will also need to add a $125 wiring system to get it to talk to your DCS radio if it is not NEMA 2000 compliant...

I don't understand why they are so stuck on wide screen ?
In a boating fishing environment it doesn't make sense to me, looking ahead on a chart is more important than looking sideways, same thing for sonar, what are they thinking ? People must like them for something i don't get it ?
More Vertical makes sense to me (or at least equal)
I'll stick with the 8" Simrads and HDS's
Way more bang for the buck if your smart about your build.

The wide screen format allows a side by side split screen.

I am planning on getting the Outboard Pilot hopefully in January. I will be sure to post a write up on it!

Wife and I spent quite a bit of time at the boat show yesterday comparing Garmin, Lowrance and Raymarine 

The result is that we did not see anything that compared with this deal for a 12 inch Gen2  HD display that provides everything we could want or need.
