Comments about Elite 5 DSI Gold Fishfinder / Chartplotter Combo:
Setting the unit up is easy but look at the internet manual - It is different than the one in the box and explains more. Mostly, anyone who works with electronics can figure it out on their own.
The combined power and sonar cables created some issues when installing the unit if you don't want to use the sonar as I will be using the unit for its charting capabilities.
The higher resolution screen was the deciding factor fo getting this brand over similiary priced units.

Comments about Elite 5 DSI Gold Fishfinder / Chartplotter Combo:
This was really easy to use, the Navionics chip is a nice add-in. The screen is easy to see, even with polarized glasses on. Waypoints go in easy, channel markers are distinguished and even half sunken vessels.
The only downfall is that I thought the Navionics chip was the one that would show contours, it's not, that's the Platinum, but for the money, I really like it.
