All fine and dandy till I come along with my Marcum and say: "Howwwwwwwdy!":biggrin1:wow thats crazy...map slot and gps...talked to the Lowrance rep about how they dont promote the mapping and gps portion of their ice machines...like real estate location location location is the most important aspect of a fish finder...the new units are real time and I have had zero issues with cold...my 5 inch lowrance chirp ice machine uses almost no power...battery lasts days...and I dont have to do math...welcome to the 21st century...Kenny my maps work with them...

Keep me posted. If I fish away from the Marcums, I'm good! If we're fishing close to each other, tons of clutter but still manageable.Scott sent me a solution for POS Marcum interference...I will be building one...you might think seriously about a titanium or cast iron transducer sheath...pic sent...
The GPS and mapping is the key feature. I'l be able to transfer all 345 of my weigh points form my HDS5, most of which i have pinned from my boat on open water to my new chirp4. Ive got locations where if your 10 feet off of the sweet spot you don't catch **** or way less. Why people spend $350 to $550 on a vex is something I don't understand. Hell, the flasher mode on the ice machines works just as well as a Vex. This forum has pounded on that subject and there is no real convincing argument for why a flasher with no GPS and mapping for more money is better. The conclusion i came up with is most ice fisherman are hearty and strong willed, therefore, set in their ways.wow thats crazy...map slot and gps...talked to the Lowrance rep about how they dont promote the mapping and gps portion of their ice machines...like real estate location location location is the most important aspect of a fish finder...the new units are real time and I have had zero issues with cold...my 5 inch lowrance chirp ice machine uses almost no power...battery lasts days...and I dont have to do math...welcome to the 21st century...Kenny my maps work with them...
