- Poorly Designed
- Unit Reboots Or Locks Up
Best Uses
Comments about HDS 5 Gen2 Fishfinder/GPS Chartplotter, Gen2 Nautic Insight with 50/200kHz Transducer:
If unit performed reliably it would be great. Before and after software updates the unit reboots sometimes 2 or 3 times in a row. After the update random reboots aren't as frequent but weather updates lock the unit up with the alarm buzzer engaged. You have to kill power to restart. Given the 6-8 hours in planning and installing components it's too risky. I also purchased the Sirius weather/music receiver. Paying for the marine weather service on a sketchy chartplotter package is adding insult to injury. The rebooting/locking up appears to be fairly common.
