Great fishfinder

Comment:
I love my new Humminbird 788ci fishfinder. I have used it three or four times now trolling for Kokanee. I wasn't sure that I really needed GPS for fishing in a lake. I knew I didn't need it to find my way back to the boat ramp, but it is so easy to mark a spot where you catch fish or see a lot of fish and then come back to that spot that I wouldn't want to fish without the GPS now. The fish ID works great also. You can see how many fish are there, what their depth is and realitive size. It is so much fun to use that my fishing buddies want to drive the boat so they can watch the screen which has great color and is easy to see all the details even in bright sunlight. I use the split screen with GPS and fish ID screen most the time. It is easy to switch back and forth between screen views with a push of a button.

I purchased this unit for my small boat. Convience of not having an external antenna & some place to put it. So far I've taken the unit out on 2 trips. The GPS features are great ! (No more hand held for me) But I have yet to get the unit to find the bottom or any fish (I'm sure it's user error) Humminbird support it the way to go if you don't understand the book fully. Unit & buttons are user friendly. This unit will do a lot when I get familuar with it. The one drawback that I have with it is: it sucks the juice out of my little battery. (I fish out of a skiff and therefore try to stay as light as possible) And the 25 hp 4-stroke Yamaha I use doesn't have charging capabilities. So I'm going to a larger battery.

Comment:
Arrived on time and installed easily. I've only used it once, and haven't had a chance to use it with the Navionics softwear because my son has the boat at his house. If it all integrates well, it might be a 5 star rating. I would reccomend it.
Comment:
Overall decent unit, but some poor choices made in the software. Navigating through menus is harder than it needs to be. There is no way to customize readouts on anything but the full screen sonar view, and this baffles me completely. The view I'd logically use most is the combo chart/sonar view, and it would make far more sense for me to keep my voltage and a clock on display than the useless lat/long & compass heading readouts. It would only be a small modification to software, but Humminbird didn't think like a customer here. Poor design choices drag down what could otherwise be a very nice unit for the money.
